Post O2 sensor

Ok so whats the trick to removing an 11 year old O2 sensor? You would think that since the exhaust heats up to 300 degrees everytime i drive it wouldn't rust itself in there.

When I changed the one on my '92, I drove until the exhaust was warmed up and I then heated the bung with a torch a little bit. Still stubborn... so I used a 3/4" drive socket wrench with a universal and a pipe extension handle. hmmmmm - then she came right out.

Have fun,
