O2 Sensor Woes
I just came from underneath of my car trying to change my O2 sensors. I was able to get the driver's side replaced before the cat but the other three, well that is a whole different story!
Those things were holding on tighter than a speedo on a fat man! (I can say that because I'm fat
)
Has anyone had any luck putting WD-40 on these things? I am willing to give it one more try before I take it into the shop.

If you are replacing them just cut the wires, place a BOX end wrench over them, and go for the gusto!

I sprayed mine with PB Blaster penetrating oil before I put the open ended wrench on them. There was quite a bit of rust that had formed and they needed some persuasion to break loose.
