  • O2 sensors stuck!

    So there is no way I can get my o2 sensors off to put on my new headers. I lubed them and hit them with my impact and nothing. Just stripping it out. So I have to order two new ones, I had the rears tuned out due to no cats.
    Are the part# 15703 ones cool? They're the bosch premiums ones.

    thats the reason they should be coated with anti-sieze during install

          yeah, funny thing is the delco's are actually $5 cheaper a piece, but I have to wait a few days to get them. I can have the Bosch's tomorrow. But I guess I should do it right the first time and just get the damn ACDelcos. Thanks for the input, and I'll definitely be putting anti-seize on them. These are still the factory sensors! They should anti-seize them from the factory.

            They do. They are also considered a wear item and should be changed occasionally

              Look on Amazon, they're pretty cheap on there.

                  Yeah I just ordered 2 Delco's for $60/pair at amazon. Thanks for the tip guys! Advance/Autozone had them for 90+ a piece!!! What a joke. Once they get here, this whore is ready to rip! Can't wait

                    You have to remember that the exhaust goes through heat cycles so o2s will generally get stuck. If they get stuck you put a torch to the bung.

                      The AC Delco's are really nice, come with little tubes of copper anti-seize and zip ties.

                      An old tip to getting O2 sensors out easier is letting the car run for a while before trying to remove them..

                      I'm glad I got mine off Amazon last month rather then paying triple at Advance Auto.

                      Did you order some O2 extensions?

                        AC delco's are the best but ive also had the same experience with denso o2 sensers being about the same as the delco's .

                          Nope, I was just looking them up as a matter of fact. Who sells them? Someone was referenced on here at one time as to where to buy those from. Was it That 1LE site? Point me in the right direction if you could thanks. Oh and to foxslaughter, dude I heated the hell outta those with my torch, the bungs were cherry red, and still couldn't touch them, even with my snap-on impact! and that things has serious torque. it jsut turned the hex into a circle! lol
