Todd, get a bottle/can of Marvel Mystery Oil and soak the O2 sensor where it
screws into the cat or tailpipe. Make sure it is Marvel Mystery Oil and not
Marvels Top Cylinder Lube. Keep it saturated at the site. Do not run the vehicle
for 24 hours, just liet it soak. Yo might even have to leave it for 48 hours,
but if you keep it saturated, it should eventually loosen up.

I have used this stuff to remove exhaust stud nuts off aircraft engines.
Toughest spot I know for a "stuck" problem.
