Default Stubborn Oxygen Sensor

Anyone have any tips for removing a stubborn oxygen sensor? I'm gonna spray it with some PB Blaster and let it sit overnight. Anything else I should try?

Start engine let warm up.

Hit o2 sensor with pb blaster.

Should make it really easy to come off.

Another one is use sea foam while hot on it.

You should be able to do it with WD40 and the o2 special tool.

Go to vatozone and ask them. Its just a socket that goes over the o2 and has a hole for the wire, so you can put a breaker bar on it. I assume your using a wrench.

Yes I was trying with a wrench, an adjustable wrench. All of my tools are at work. Trying my best not to round it off. I'll have to go to autozone. Thanks for the help.
