Re: Help - O2 sensor removal
Use
anti- seize next time.
Brian Trubee
Looking
at the new Bosch O2 sensor, I find the threads amply covered with an anti-seize
compound; and recall the prior one was the same. So that’s been
done. Haven’t had a chance yet to have another go at removing it,
but I’m sure it will get done. Meanwhile the current one is still
functional.
Thanks,
Al

Subject: [FlyRotary] Help - O2 sensor removal
After
about 130 hrs my O2 sensor seemed to be getting a little sluggish; so I decided
to replace it. I put a wrench on it and unable to budge it. A bigger
wrench and still no luck – getting worried about cracking the weld around
the bung, or some other damage. Any ideas about getting that thing loose?
I
didn’t put anything on the threads when I put it in – perhaps next
time; but what?
