Default Easy way to remove O2 sensors from the 2.8

THis is the way I did mine, and it was pretty effortless. Get a O2 socket (1/2 inch) then a 1/2 inch breaker bar about 18inches long and a medium-small pipe wrench. Just attach the socket to the o2 sensor, then give the breaker bar handle a twist with the pipe wrench. Of course there are other ways, but at least you don't have to use an air chisel!!!

Default Something was different.

Mine were frozen in, rusted at the threads, and it was 25ish degrees out. Do you live in a warm environment? I also changed mine at 82K, well late of what I should've.
