Need Help Yet Again
 
Hey Guys,

I got the CEL Elim. From RRM. Seemed simple to so. I struggled for six hours. How the hell do I get the damn o2 sensor off the Cat? I even used liquid wrench. Any Tips?

When I changed my cat to RRM's highflow cat...I had to use a torch to get my O2 sensor off. Came off with ease after I heated it up a bit.

be careful to hot and ul mess up the threaded section of the sensor

liquid wrench or any other penetrating oil w/lubricant. let it sit for a day. go back out tomorrow and spray more on..take it off in 20 minutes....or remove the whole cat out and put it on the bench....it's easier to work on it that way.

Try going out for a drive...And when you return home, remove it then... Make sure to wear work gloves though!

no offense, what the f*ck were you thinking when you cut the wires? there is a quick-connect plug :confused:

Right tighty. Lefty loosey.

Yeah comatose I didnt see it. It was no problem though, only 2 wires and is not like it was that hard to reconnect.

oh my god...... i cant believe this is struggling issue

step 1: go to autozone pepboys ect.
step 2: put a 15 dollar deposit down on an O2 sensor socket
step 3: use socket
step 4: return socket and get 15 bucks back

Dont worry I did. I may be a newbie to this site but I am not new at electronics and wiring things and crap. :)
