Any advice i have tried wd40 and heating it up, the m effer is rounded off so i cant get much of a hold on it. if i do buy a new one would it be ok to just get the universal sensor and put my connector on it? thanks

 

take the 02 housing, put it in a vice and take out the o2 with some locking pliers (vice grips)!

As far as using the universal one, i dont know...

 

good thought idk if the vice grips will hold though

 

 

Nice! But 's no good after the plug is rounded off.
Use a really big vise-grip.

 

drive around for a while and then use pb blaster.

 

Vice grips and heat, lots of heat.

 

Wow...exactly what I went through last night. Used an O2 socket, rounded it off. Got a torch, heated it up, went at it with vice grips and completely shredded the hex.

That sensor is still in the stock housing. I'm currently driving around without a primary for a day or two with my Megan because I had to order a new sensor. Keeping it under 3k and zero problems.

 

Kroil.

It's simply the best rusted part loosening agent there is.

Mine was tough to get out too, we just sprayed it down with pb blaster let it soak heated it up and gave it hell with a wrench and it came out.

 

y u taking the sensor off. ive had problems with this as well. if u can leave it on then just leave it on...heat will work but most likely the sensors threads will strip out

 

Take it out, put it in a vice and use a that appropriate big wrench (I dont remember which one off the top, but its 22 or 23mm, I think)

The wrench I use is a regular wrench, just quite big since its such a big size and it give you way enough torque to get out the most stubborn O2 sensor.

 

you aren't using enough heat.

 

I think i am going to just have to buy a new one at this point it is pretty shredded up and i dont think i have the means to heat it up enough i had to soldering torches on it for about five minuted or better and didnt do a thing as for why i need to take it out is because i am swaping the o2 housing to a EPM O2 dump

 

I hope ur epm doesnt have fitment issues like my friend. His burnt a hole thru his lower intercooler hose. IMO Map 02 is the route to go, no fitment issues. I almost went with the EPM but was talked out of it, just my .02 cents tho.
