got a hammer?, just whack it to the side so you can get at the bolt.
if you are replacing it just beat the heck out of it.

The H pipe isn't stock. It's a BBK Catted H pipe. Adder - the o2 is blocking one of the header bolts and there's not enough room to get around them.

So you think letting the pipe warm up will help?

You probably need a longer extension vig. I remember having trouble getting around the o2 sensor but with a long extension and swivel I was able to get the header bolt.

youll never get that passenger 02 out without having a 3/8 ratchet like the size of 1/4in one and a 02 tool, not the socket.



put a pipe on it and break it off or cut it, if you have to

when i did my exhaust, i had the same problem... i let the frustration get the best of me and used the vice grip and turned the **** outta it... it worked but i dont know what luck you would have... they make a "special" socket for o2 sensors but idk how that would do i never used one... good luck
