First you need the right socket, lisle makes one on the cheap side. Then you need spray the blaster on the threads and let it sit for 30 minutes. After it has had some time to sink in, start the motor and let the truck idle for a minute or two. You want the pipe warm to the touch to hot, sence it is really stuck you may want to get the pipe very hot. With the socket on the sensor, tap the ratchet with a hammer or mallot. It will bust loose, but you have to get past the rust.
You can use a 7/8" wrench on it as well but you want a 6-pt box end wrench which seems to be less common than the 12-pt box end. Leverage is what you need but be careful because the lack of room and the ability for the pipe not to take the torque required to break the sensor loose.
