Default Tips/suggestions for "breaking" O2 sensor loose?
I'm trying to get my test pipe back in, but I am completely unable to free the post-cat O2 sensor. Is there any trick to it? I'm not a weak guy, and I'm using every ounce of strength I have. This beehotch is not budging.

I ended up using a small floor jack on the wrench. Problem solved.
