secondary O2 sensor wont budge... ideas?

I have a o2 socket, but the thing is just not moving at all.

I need to reuse it.. so nothing that will damage it.

WD-40 + warmed the car up, tapped it a couple times with a hammer, threw in some elbow grease and it loosened right up.

now to see if this whole "defouler" mod really does anything.
