Step 1 - get wrench
Step 2 - start truck, let it come to temp (on jack stand)
Step 3 - hose that mfr down with penetrant
Step 4 - commit. Cut plug off o2
Step 5 - put wrench on, hit wrench with bfh
Step 6 - profit

Gonna try my hand on some grounds.View attachment 269122 View attachment 269123
I need to order that MAP gas, not in stock.

Are you crimping or soldering the terminals on?

I suggest getting some marine grade heat shrink (it will have glue inside the heat shrink) and putting over the ends where the terminal meets the cable.

Especially since you are up north.

I have no idea how I'm gonna do it yet. I was at Tractor Supply, so I figured--Why not.
I grabbed a few more things to try to get the job done---
Vice grips, pipe wrench, 3/8" breaker bar, metric and sae wrenches and some fancy swivel head 3/8 ratchet. **** THIS O2 SENSOR!! I'm gonna try it without the heat--maybe. If not, I'll have to make a special run to HD.
I got that welding wire to do the big 3 upgrade. 6' of wire at 6.99 a foot.

You know you actually have to put one of those tools ON the O2 sensor in order to remove it, right? And quit messin, Tony- we know that’s you on the beach.

For the love of @PG01 ! I’ve never seen someone buy so many random things just for an O2 sensor job

No, not just for the O2--I'm like a kid in a candy store. I can never have enough tools. When I do work, I work out of my van, so I can never have enough tools. This just gave me an excuse to buy more shit.

I'm more hairy then that guy!

Heat the goddamn thing before you try to break it loose. Serious. Just starting the truck to temp will make a huge difference
