Same thing happened to me... Both passenger side O2 sensors were over tightened FROM THE FACTORY so the threads were destroyed when we removed them. GM is the only supplier; no aftermarket at this time. This has happened to quite a few who have installed LT.

On a side note, when I was picking my new O2 sensors up from my local GM Dealer the techs stated they see this all the time on all GM models...

It wouldn't be a bad idea to put a little anti-seize on the threads of the new ones before you put them in. Just don't get any on the sensor.

yeah i knew to be careful with them and two came out really easy almost like they were only finger tight. the other two however i knew were scrapped from the start. Good thought on the never sieze. other than that issue and the back order on em of a week, the header install went like a glove. only had to have the car jacked up like 14" and the dynatechs slid right in. thanks for the input guys i appreciate it.

Just a heads up, the new O2 sensors come from GM with anti-seize on them already.
