So, with my time off work I am doing a lot to my TY. Purchased a wideband and went to remove the o2 Sensor, and no coming out! Had the special tool, and nothing. PB Blaster, nothing, not it is almost rounded off UGH!
I have a couple questions for the experts:
1. I want to heat it with a torch, and hit it with an airchissel. Any hints as I am a little cared to go with it with a torch still in the truck, now question 2:
2. I never had the DP out, but already have experience taking the turbo out and the cat off, so... But does it slid out if on ramps or is a PITA like a lot of other things on this!

I just did b pipes on my Titan which required removing the o2s. They were on there good. A good hose clamp over the special tool keeps it from expanding and rounding the sensor. I had to use a little bit of heat on the bung and use a breaker bar and they eventually came loose.

If it's junk, cut the wire and use a regular socket/wrench. Remove hot for sure. Or drill it through, chisel it loose into center hole you drilled.

Thank you for the help on this. Dave assisted me, and I will be trying to take it out that way. Heat torch/ and if all else fails, drill through it and air chisel

As I told you on the phone over the weekend, I've had some knarley ones, but I've always managed to eventually get them out. You will too. You may have to remove the upper IC for better access. Post-up when it's out.
