HELP! Removing the O2 Sensor on the Catty

Hey there,

I am taking my stock DP off and putting on a aftermarket one. I got everything off but ran into the problem of the O2 sensor in the Catty. I looked at it and tried to pull and that didnt work, tried to losen the nut on it and that didnt work.

HOW DO YOU GET THE O2 SENSOR OFF THE CATTY?!?!

Any help is appreciated.

THANKS!

Will

try to disconnect the o2 sensor, and undo it off the car. sometimes the are a pita to take off because the everytime you loosen up the sensor, the harness twists and makes it a pain in the butt to get out.

We needed a torch to get mine out. Little bit of heat and it finally loosend up. It was in there REAL GOOD. We used an open ended wrench (20 or 22 mm something like that). Of course the downpipe was off the car when we did this.
