This goes out to all of you who gave me advice on
removing this pain in the a**e object.
Thanks
I took a bit of everyones help.
Soakes the sensor in penitrating oil, and went
out
Bought a new 22mm ring spanner as long as I could
get. New gas bottle for my blow torch and some other bits.
Got straight under the car when I got homeBlow
torched the sensor til it was red hot slipped on the spanner and gave it a bash
with the hammer, and it turned first time ;-)
I don't know if it was one or all processes that
worked but its done now.
This is the first time since I got the carthat it
has had a working O2 sensor. At first the engine was a nightmare, wouldn't idle
and was trying to stall under accelleration, after maybe 5mins it settled down
and is fine now, and on top of that the petrol smell has gone from the exhust
which is what I was hoping for.
Thanks again
Paul
