That did the trick! I soaked the $#@#@$$@# thing with PB Blaster and the
Sea Foam stuff overnight. Then, I got the pipe wrench to grab on the
stripped threads. I braced my feet against the rear wheel, and gave it all
I had. I'd slowly gave way. ;)

I noticed the replacement oxygen sensor had anti-seize pre-applied. Good
thing.

Car still runs rich, so I assume that would be Temp II, or a bad injector
or two.
