O2 sensor problem.......
.....namely, it's not where it's supposed to be, and I can't get it out. Rather than being mounted on the exhaust manifold, above the flange, it's actually mounted on the crossover pipe from the driver's side exhaust. Oh, it's an '87 2.9.
Anyway, it's frozen solid in there, and the location precludes the use of a breaker bar or pipe for leverage on the wrench. I've soaked the threads in penetrating oil, still can't get it free. Any suggestions?

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 17-Mar-02 AT 04:42 PM (EST)]I've been told that heating it with a propane torch let it cool down and reheating it again does the trick. I hope this helps!
