Did you use an O2 sensor socket plus penetrating oil to loosen it up?

RandyStinchcomb is a user here who sells Ford parts, PM him for the best price.

Also, be sure and use antiseize when you install the new sensor so this does not happen again.

well, i cant really get it by mail because its my daily driver, its just got a open hole on the new xpipe.. i live near dale jarret ford so i guess ill head over there
is it safe to drive with no o2 sensor in 1 of the holes ( its 1 of the 2 near the rear of the car)

Your check engine light may come on, reset the PCM to clear it.

Bring the Astroglide with you so they do not "do you dry"

Make sure the open hole isn't blowing hot exhaust on any wires or fuel line!!
