Help! How do I remove the ICP sensor?

Can anyone tell me how the heck I can get the ICP sensor loose and out of the truck? I've moved the intercooler pipe out of the way to get a better shot at it, but I can't for the life of me break it loose. Any tricks to get a 6 year old sensor to come loose?

Just unbolt it, that's what I did with my old one. Use PB blaster or some other penetrating lube to help if it's not coming off easily.

More a$$ and longer breaker bar. I took mine out last year and don't remember it being that tight. Might should have tried before engine cooled. The new one will go on easier because of the new design.

Huh? How is asking the same question on two totally seperate websites considered double posting? I was just looking for as many helpful ideas as possible.

BTW, Thanks for the idea Pocket. I got it to come loose with PB Blaster. I'd never tried that stuff before. Works much better than everything else I've tried.

I didn't know about PB Blaster until I got on this forum, it's WD 40 on steroids.
