i didn't have much trouble removing mine, even though it was original
and many miles on it.
the O2 sensor socket tends to distort under high torque because it is
weakened by the slot. i put a hose clamp on the socket as close to
the hex of the O2 sensor as possible. that, combined with an 18" breaker
bar, got the O2 sensor off easily.
