Default Help with o2

Okay this is how it went.. I bought a test pipe online and my friend installed it @ My house. then My cel went on... I bought the anti fouler from checkers....


The problem is when my car was on the lift i couldn't take off the o2... It was super tight.. I called my friend and he said to bring it to his work and he will get it off... I had to work that day so i dropped it off.. I called my friend on the way back to his shop... Then he told me that it couldnt come off... I got there and he showed me that the o2 was fully stripped and rounded.... He used his o2 snap on socket and a inpact gun and rounded the sensor... He told me that i have to buy another test pipe and another o2 sensor !!!!

Is there another way around it....?? Can i some how remove the bad o2 and just replace it with a new one with out buying another test pipe...

Taka can you help me

actually i can if you either take the test pipe off or bring it in to the shop, but you should take the test pipe off if you want it done cheaper.

bummer, did you encounter any trouble while installing the O2 into the test pipe the first time?

Try welding something on there for leverage and then twisting it off. Good luck.
