PB Blaster is a high grade penetrating oil. WD 40 is a lubricating oil. You need PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench (penetrating oil) to get that sensor out. Spray it on, let it sit for a while (say, 15 minutes), give it a second spritz, let it sit (15 minutes more), then try.

Good luck.

Are you taking off your H-pipe? If so you can probably just disconnect the electrical connector and then remove the pipe. Then you can get a bit more leverage to remove the sensor since you won't be under the car. If you aren't removing the pipe then I guess I don't really know what to tell you. I just used a breaker bar to remove mine.

MT1083:

Excellent idea: disconnect the electrical leads and take the pipe off first. Just be careful not to knock the sensors on the ground!

LOL mine were a pain, but not too bad. infact they were probably the hardest part of my exhaust install, the rest was elementry. I just used a monster adjustable wrench, which probably wasnt smart, but it worked.

I ran into the same problem. Liquid Wrench worked for me.

Removing the O2's was probably the most difficult task when I helped remove my friend's H pipe. Now, when I swap out my cars OEM H for something better, everything will get Liquid Wrench'ed
