Removing Oxygen Sensor

Hey guys, whats the best trick you've found for removing a stubborn O2 sensor? I've put the truck on ramps so I could add some leverage to my ratchet, had a buddy pull while I pushed, that sucker won't budge... I've read somewhere about adding heat.

Any suggestions?

Hit it with a penetrant for several days, a few times a day, then when you are ready to remove it, run the truck up to operating temperature first.

Drive the truck a few miles and get it good and warm.

use breaker bar to twist off O2 sensor while head stays in exhaust.
After shaking fists at the gods in the heavens, buy new y pipe.
Use plenty of anti-sieze on the new sensor.
