Since, I couldn't take out 02 sensor with socket plus with PB Blaster. which it didn't work.

Um...I was wondering if I should go exhaust manifold replace with o2 sensor from a junkyard?

 

I was thinking should I put a jack underneath of the car to take out exhaust manifold?

 

yes you will need to because you will have to unbolt from the catalytic converter. what manifold do you need i have a stock 97 EX mani in my garage

I was saying should I go to junkyard and get exhaust manifold from them with 02 sensor? Because right now inside the engine bay exhaust manifold with 02 sensor isn't making any nudge.

I needed sohc for d16z6

 

ah...replacing the entire manifold is an option...

if the O2 sensor stuck in your car is junk, try either taking MAP gas to it or cutting the top of it off and putting an impact wrench on it -- either of those should work, assuming you don't need to reuse the sensor for anything.

 

Replacing the entire manifold with a used one, including an 02 sensor that could be in worse condition than yours doesn't make much sense. The reason behind your sensor not wanting to come loos is probably related to corrosion. If the sensor has this issue all of the bolt holding the exhaust together and manifold to the engine probaly share the corosion. Spending a little more time removing one o2 sensor is much better than trying to unbolt the entire manifold, because every bolt may give you the same greif.

I would spray the o2 with a good penetrating lube, then start the car up and let the exhaust get warm. Put a nice thick glove on and try undoing it when the exhaust is hot, I've good luck with this method.
