[V8] Oxygen sensor removal advice needed

[Tony and Lillie]

I ran into the same thing, lost threads, very tight. I rounded mine off a 
bit with the flare nut socket. Then, I broke to whole thing off - it is easy 
with a hammer, as it is made of ceramic. Then with a 24" breaker and a 7/8" 
deepwell, out it came.
