O2 sensor
Slid under the 95 Caprice 9c1 to work for about an hour. Went to remove my O2 sensors, last night I soaked them in some PB blaster.
Started struggling and took a real good look and it looks like the sensors are welded on there! Or is that just how they look after spending time down there?
If they are welded on there WTF am I supposed to do? Take off the piece and walk into a local muffler shop to have them remove it? The passenger side looks welded on too.

Supporting MemberMost likely siezed. Could try hitting it with an impact if you can do the extension dance to get it in there, or run the car so its hot then try, or heat it with torch.
Or buy hooker 2451hkr headers and a pypes x pipe and enjoy the noise

Well, I have a 30 gallon home depot air compressor but no impact gun so I guess I'll have to hit up Harbor Freight.
I don't have a torch... How about a heat gun?
I don't like noise it gives away my location, intention and direction.
But like a dumb-ass, I removed the manifold before fiddling with the O2 sensor, thinking it would come off with no grief. The pipe is up in air thanks to a jack-stand.
If your wondering, yes I forgot it hangs from the manifold, so when I got the last nut off I was reminded by the fact after the pipe crashed into my balls & face..

You may find that a little propane torch used for plumbing may help. Good luck finding an impact at HF that will have enough humf to work. You may be able to go to a Pawn shop and get a decent impact gun for a reasonable price. Wish you the best of luck

Crap man, I totally didn't think of that, i have 2 propane torches laying around somewhere.
I know Harbor Freight sells China stuff, I do not endorse them at all when it comes to things that get the job done.
I didn't think about the pawn shop route either, I walked into one once and didn't like the feeling of it. Had to go home and shower.
I'll probably seek an impact from HF or craftsman.... Maybe home depot or Lowes.

It didn't make sense for the exhaust pipento fall in my crotch after I un-bolted it from the manifold. Last night I noticed that its bent away from, and not hooked up to the holder thingy. The passenger side is though
Looks like the previous owner got flim-flamed on an exhaust repair or took a stupid short cut to hanging a new pipe.
