Subject:Getting the OXS Sensor out.
From:Andy Morse
Date:Sat, 20 Sep 2003 00:00:39 EDT

It's always something...I bought the new sensor today at BAP Geon..$80 plus
tax and needn't be spliced in, however I was not able to get the old one out
and now there's nothing left to grab on to. I used heat and excellent rust free
magnetic stuff, vise grips after the box wrench failed, then a chisel, stopped
short of using a dremel.    Seems to be the next choice is to take the
catalytic convertor out and use a screw extractor which I don't think will even work
and by that time I may as well replace the convertor, I found one for $111,
anyone have a good source for these, I would even consider a used in great
shape, or what about by passing the convertor and putting in  a straight pipe, are
these available as well, But then I'm assuming (Sunset) won't run as well
without the 02 in there.

Thanks for listening.
