IMHO For what they cost to replace it's probably cheaper then the amount of
time you are going to spend trying to get it off.

Subject: Stubborn oxygen sensor

I'm replacing the catalytic converter on my Carat and not suprisingly, the
02 sensor is thoroughly stuck with corrosion. Generous application of PB
blaster is ineffective. Would applying torch heat risk damage to the sensor?
It seems obvious that it is made for high temps but as high as a torch?

cheers,
