Oxygen sensor removal.....
Whats the easiest way to take out the o2 sensor on a 93 civic ex? I bought the o2 sensor socket but it almost stripped the o2 sensor. Still has the notchs but not much left. I dont want to completly strip it. TIA!

Re: Oxygen sensor removal..... (Panda EK)
those things are a bitch! i had my dad come try and get mine off, broke a snap on o2 tool, whatever the crap they are called, and it didnt even budge, broke my o2 sensor though! so i still need to get it off when i get my new one, i think im gonna take the heat shield off #1 (that will make it easy to get a grip one) and soak it down in penetrating oil.. hopefully that helps losen the sucker! let me know how yours works out, i will do the same

I removed the cover but havent tried any oil yet. I cut my wrist open on something and now I'm bleeding so I'm calling it a day. Anyone else have any suggestions?

and some flames help out a lot to heat up the metal.. i would soak in some wd40 then heatup and take that bieotch off..

Maybe I got lucky but yeah like the others, a 22 mm open ended got it off with no problems. Try harder....

Lol I remember trying to get it off of someones car, we cut out a little square in the exhaust becacue we could not for the life of us remove that damned thing, then we simply welded the square tot he new exhaust.
Those things suck
