Anyone have a spare O2 sensor locally?

Me and my buddies installed me new headers, however....the toughest time was removing the stock header, and removing the O2 sensor. After the stock header was out, the O2 sensor must be the most troublesome problem of all. After 3 or 4 trips to autozone, probably half an hour of wrenching it out, and a broken O2 sensor tool from autozone, thank god we didnt have to pay it ( ). still no 02 sensor on new header. other than going to midas, and have them try to pull it out, does anyone have a spare sensor to sell? (i'm still gonna go to midas first thing in the morning though)

 

damn seriously had to be the hardest thing every. Never have i had a problem then with a 02 sensor but then your car came along and changed that. even soaking it up with wd-40 it failed and like 100 tries, even with a extended wrench it failed. that 02 sensor feels like it was welded on there but its not.

 

Did you try maybe tightening it first, see if you can get it to break loose that way. Mine was a pain in the butt the first time and then it was easy from there. Good lucj guys.

 

It was a pain to get off on my tc, but I just put the wrench on there, then tapped it with a rubber mallet a few times and it came loose. Other than that, you can just try putting both hands on the wrench and lifting yourself onto the wrench if you didn't already try that. I've never had both of those methods fail me;)

 

midas took it off for me. but it was damaged before they took it off. so im guessing i need a new one now. anyone know of getting one w/o going thru the dealer?

 

try the junkyard or if not maybe trdsparks.com has some.

 

thats gonna be a lotta money.

 

that is why you go to the walk in kind of junkyard to pick out your own parts that you need.

I'll ask Wookie from SCIONtology if he still has an extra one for sale cheap. I also have an anti-fouler for it if you're interested for $20?

 

thanks i got it all covered. yet my check engine light is still on. i even disconnected my battery. i wonder what code its throwing off.

 

i think marx you should just a oem one from MtcX if his friend has original one. i heard of universal one's still throwing CEL's.. but get the code first though before going any further.
