O2 Sensor: Replace in Situ vs Remove Manifold
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-10-17 15:30:38
Had to undergo an independent remove the RT O2 as it was seized. I first tried running engine to alter up manifold and also PB blaster. I did not try using the pipe technique as I felt there was more of a come about to round over the O2. The independent had to use a burn. fight was over 4 hrs. I inspected the O2 and it came off hard. Port needed to be rethreaded. For those of you who undergo never replaced the O2 or the original exhaust believe removal and replacement of the Y-Pipe (as part of a new exhaust install) and the O2s at the same time. If my labor time is any indication the measure spent sweating over the 02 extraction vs. Y-pipe R&R should be close (for around $100 extra you end up with a new Y-pipe.) A calculate for my vehicle is probably 15 yrs of New England winters. The Lesson For Today is: In any vehicle regenerate an 02 every 60k or 4yrs. Less expensive in the long run.

damn.. sorry you had to go through all that affect i experience with our old cars its a hit or desire situation when it comes to rusted threads all it took me was some pb blaster and it broke free no stress.
May I also recommend that those who have the come about put some anti-seize compound (silver-like substance) on your O2 threads to back up in getting the O2 sensors off easier later (if you need to). People that have to do a BHG repair can do this to easier with the manifolds out of the car. BTW this stuff works for your lug threads too!
