well i tried removing my o2 sensor the other day, it has come off 6 months ago when i changed dump pipes..

after my efforts the other day my ecutalk is telling me the o2 sensor is really really farked now, not just farked.... o2 is reading between .00v to .99v at idle... car is running like total crap and conks out when left for 1min or so...

now that i know its totally farked, reckon i just bash the top off it with a hammer and undo the bottom part with a socket set? have to get it off, and ive got a replacement here...

ive unplugged it and its running .30v which is cold start now so it will run rich as....

any opinions or ideas?

thanks all

Ed

ive tried just about everything else, when we got it out of the old dump it was put in a vice and a spanner and breaker bar was used!

this is looking like the only way, used a spanner, breaker and hammer in my driveway but couldnt get it off!

smashy smashy time!

Yikes!

Get some innox or some kind of rust-easing spray onto it overnight. Then give the ol' spanner another try.

OR... if you don't care about the old one, the bashing the top off to get a socket on will probably work too... if you get more leverage on the ratchet than you do the spanner.

UPDATE

the right size spanner, some wog power and juggernaut power we managed to get it off without breaking it

pitty i wanted to smash something....

new sensor is in and reading alot more smoothly, although there are still some variations in the voltage i think thats because its running rich due to the tune...

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
