BilLster · 03-12-2002, 05:42 PM

ok i just fixed a brocken bolt on my turbo flange and noticed that i needed to braze a spot on the exhaust. I figured i should check the o2 sensors the left side came out easy (never sieze still there ) but the right side was (is ) stuck so i had the torch i heated up the bung and tried removing wouldnt turn sprayed with wd 40 no luck put on vise gripps and hit with hammer brock o2 sensor.

left in disspair . both sides are threaded the same right .

what short of cutting and welding in a new bung have you guy's tried.

still half a foot of snow here but must have things fixed when the track opens.

There is a special O2 sensor socket you should be using. Heat the crap out of it. Then use that socket. If it strips, it strips, but at least you'll get it out. You'll have to tap for a new one though.
