02 sensor (upper)
so i tried my hardest to get this off. I couldnt!!! Is there a trick? It wouldnt budge. And i have an 02 bonnie, and its the one up top before the cat. I may be a woman, but dang, i couldnt get it to budge.

I think I may have used a 24inch breaker bar and done it after it sat all night.

If you are replacing it, try some penetrate oil like BreakFree or WD40. You may have to soak a few days. Hopefully you are using an O2 socket or wrench. If this is the first time replacing it, you will definitely need to put some brute force into it.
|
Yeah, maybe try a penetrating lube.
I would recommend some mechanical advantage. ( longer rachet, air tools etc ) |
I soaked mine for a good week with penetrating oil before it finally broke loose.
|
I just did my SEEi and my Monte SS within the last month.
The Bonne's came out really nice, but the Monte's put up a fight. I ended up crawling up on top of the motor, put a longer rachet on with a taller extention and braced myself for the inevitable impact after I got it loosened up. The scars are healing, and the Monte's never run better. :-) |
so like everyday for maybe3 days put some maybe liquid wrench on it? Should i just drive regularly as well? Would that be fine? and then after a few days of using pent. oil, try to get it out? I talked to someone and they told me that i may need to re thread it since it is a PITA to get out. And how hard is it to rethread?
|
Ya, just do that. I picked up a thread cleaner from autozone. It goes in a socket and turns right in nice and easy.
|
thread cleaner? is this a penetrating oil?
|
No, it's like a thread tap. You run it in to the bung and it cleans up the threads.
