removing standard lambda sensor

[russ78]

got a problem with my aftermarket lambda sensor, so i thought ok ill remove the one from my cat but it seems to be in there very well and i cant remove it.

i cant get a ring spanner over it as theres not enough room any ideas other than wd40 ?

is there some trick to getting em out ?

when i replaced my decat the lamba sensor was stuck in there, took it to a random parts supplier who kindly heated it up and got it out for me - sorry i cant be better help

I got a pair of adjustables on mine and it came out straight away mate. Spray some WD over it and try and give it a crack.

They are a pig to do. Better off removing it and putting it In a vice?

[russ78]

yeah its being a complete pig tbh, its already removed only thing i can think is to cut the cat to get it out but i need the cat for mots and that

Any mechanic mates with the special o2 remover tool, thats what i'd use. Or get a socket over it and use a big breaker bar.

[russ78]

you cant get a socket over it as the plug is to large looks like ill have to try a mechanic

yea mine was super tight! spray the wd over a fre times, leave it over night and try the next day. if its unplugged from the car you shoud be able to get a ring spanner on it....but you need it in a vice.. its still very tight tho!

I cut the wires and used a socket then re-soldered the wires, still works perfect

[russ78]

yeah i know got local mechanic to remove it was freebie to
