Generally ....you should own a dedicated O2 removal tool.,,usually a
special socket.
Check with a Tool Truck ...Snap-On, Mack, etc.
or go online.
I wouldn't dream of not having one.

and I've had to heat the boss where it's screwed,  in with a torch, many
times.

Is there a better way to remove the sensor? Should I use my touch to heat the sensor ? Any ideas would be great. I might get to Quebec yet just have to get this done.
