O2 Sensor Stuck...Need Help

Guys,

I have a 1997 F-150 5.4 and I have replaced 3 of my 4 O2 sensors. The last O2 sensor that needs replacing is on the passenger side up infront of the cat, right past the exhaust manifold. I was able to get a wrench on it with a 3 foot cheater bar and still cant get it. Im afraid if I force it, I could do damage to the manifold or pipe. Anybody have any ideas as to what I should do? If I take it to an exhaust place they are going to want to drop the whole exhaust and that will cost some $$$. Thanks.

Spray the heck out of it with some PB Blaster, and let it soak an hour or so. Then try to loosen it.
