Oil, tap-tap-tap, and a three or five foot cheater (heavyish pipe) over the
end of your wrench handle.

|Hi All,
|
|I'm trying to remove my o2 sensor but it's rusted in place. I've tried
|quite a bit of liquid wrench, along with a set of locking pliers and a
|hammer. No dice.
|
|How do other people get the sensor off without destroying the cat?
|
|Cheers,
|Harry
