AdamB Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flaminsam Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 They are a pig to do. Better off removing it and putting it In a vice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
russ78 Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 you cant get a socket over it as the plug is to large looks like ill have to try a mechanic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m11xky Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 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!

Azz Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I cut the wires and used a socket then re-soldered the wires, still works perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
