Default 02 sensor removal help...

I was trying to change the primary o2 sensor today and that this is on tight as hell. Any tips on how to remove it? There's not much room to work with under there either. I don't have any power tools and i'm only using a 22mm wrench to try to remove and which is not doing much. If I can't change it tomorrow i'll just take it to a muffler shop, any idea how much it'll cost for them to just remove and put on the o2 sensor i already have.

you are now asking honda-tech how to take off a bolt.

Simple solutions:
1)go to the gym.
2) get a breaker bar
3) go find a girl who can do it, because apparently its on too tight for you.
4) hide under a rock and save yourself the embarassment


but in all seriousness, just try harder.

Ha ha BURN...... If you aren't afraid to risk rounding the O2 sensor you can take the wrench and put it firmly onto the sensor and tap on the end of the wrench with a mallet. If you hit it hard enough it should loosen it enough for you to spin it off. Seriously get stronger.....

ROFL. Spray some WD 40 on it, let it sit for 2 minutes. Get a rubber mallet and hit your wrench like dude said. If that's not enough, get a metal pole or breaker bar and use it for leverage. Leverage is your friend in these situations.

the O2 sensor socket is made for a reason. why the **** would you break off your own sensor and use a regular socket? dumbasses nowadays.
