Lambda sensor stuck hawkeye
I have just got myself a decat pipe (2nd cat)
Was hoping to fit it this afternoon after work so I got the car up on the ramp but found the lambda sensor stuck. Tried a long bar over the spanner ect then we tried heat, we got it red hot and it started to move but then became stuck solid again. Im worried I might be stripping the thread out so I stopped as I didnt want the car off the road over the weekend.
Please advise me, Am I likely to need a new sensor? if so where to buy as Subaru want around £280

Try wd40 work it backwards & forewords. If it still wont move heat it again & work it while hot. It will come out but the threads may not be good. If you need one shop around I think most parts factors will supply them but buy a decent one.
