One of Those Days

2 Hours worth of work, covered in road grime from the rails of the frame. And for what? The satisfaction of knowing I can successfully work on my own vehicle. On a side note, not sure if this was the original O2 Sensor, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

I see telltales signs of use of Ye Olde Vice Grippes.

lets hope a new one makes the difference that you are looking for. ---- I'm thinking that mine should be changed out too.

And thou would be correct. Tried the old vice grips + hammer + swearing at it for a while, but I had to change tactics. :shake:

Not like I should have to tell you, but make sure there's anti-sieze on the threads of the new one before it goes in.

...and before you put the new O2 sensor in, use a thread chaser to clean the threads, or at least a tap, then use anti-seize on the new O2 sensor threads.

Cleaned out the old threads and used anti-seize on them, and on the sensor. I could immediately tell the slight power increase and better idle. Can't believe I haven't done this sooner. :yes:
