Recently got a check engine light, after hooking up the scanner to me jeep found out it was a bad 02 sensor. Bank 1 sensor 1. No big deal I figured id replace it as I have done so on other vehicles previously. Along with a variety of other tools I have the correct 02 sensor specific socket. I am having a hard time getting the sensor out however. Im not new to do it yourself type work so I feel guilty even asking for help. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get that thing out. Ive already tried wd40 & pb blast and even went as far as heating it up with a small torch. I let the vehicle run to heat up the exhaust as well. For the life of me I can not get the o2 sensor out. I either cant get enough leverage or when I do it just slips off or starts to strip the o2 sensor. Ive already broke the internals of one ratchet trying to get it off. Any suggestions?
