Add another cross threaded 02 sensor to the mix. 3 of the 4 sensors, no problem, broke free and spun out with my fingers. The passenger side, upstream one.... it took me standing on the manifold, liquid wrenched all over the threads, and a brand new extra long craftsman 7/8inch wrench to remove it. It came out, but the threads are hosed!!! Oh well, after spending all that coin on new LT and cats, I am not going to try to be cheap and shove that back in. Amazon had them for $56, so even overnight shipping it was about $85.
