WOW. Where do all of you people LIVE?!? I recently had to remove 2 oxygen sensors from a pair of 87's- one had been sitting in a field of tall grass for years, and the other was driven in the snow all the time. I used whatever wrench it is that fits (7/8"?) and just... unscrewed them. No penetrant, heat, or anything.
