Default 93 o2 sensor






how the heck do you get the dang sensor out?

Heat it up?

im thinking it’s the original one in there by the looks of it but who knows.


Also, if anyone is in NW Wisconsin and looking for a topper, I am looking to get rid of this. Would like trades.
Thanks
joe

On my 1988, the pipe itself started distorting; so the muffler shop put in a new bung for the new O2 sensor, and I just clipped the wires off the old one.

IDK if this could work on an O2 sensor but in general if you have Oxy/Acetylene setup you can heat up the heads of stuck bolts to cherry red and that usually loosens them. Propane usually won;t work because it doesn't concentrate heat in one spot enough it ends up heating everything equally which is pointless since everything will expand/contract the same.

yeah Ive had to use a torch on O2s before..... problem being, where it is at on those trucks, not a lot of room for a torch head or a worker's hands around the sensor on those years.

Managed to get it with my buddy.

Replaced the muffler with a thrush welded next project is shocks and valve cover gaskets!
