Re: Oxygen sensor / Lamder probe

[jtrealty@xxxx]

The best way to remove it is to heat the fitting it screws into with 
an acetalyne torch. If you don't have one find a muffler shop to do it 
for you. It will save you alot of aggravation, time, knuckles, 
band-aids, and cursing. If you try to "muscle" it out you may wind up 
taking the threads out with it. If you bring the new one with you they 
could also install it and they shouldn't charge very much. Have them 
use some anti-seize compound on the threads so it will come out easier 
next time. Don't forget to reset your lambda counter and check your 
valve adjustment. While you are there remove the test plugs and 
reinstall with anti-seize too. Whenever you work on the exhaust system 
heat is the only way to go!
