I am trying to extract this oxygen sensor so that it can be used again in a replacement exhaust.
There are many examples on YouTube of folk doing this but just about in all cases, contrary to my objective, they are attempting to replace a new sensor into an existing exhaust. So far I have avoided cutting the section of pipe that holds the sensor away from the exhaust in order that I have something substantial to turn the wheelbrace against. You can see that I have tried to saw vertically into the sensor seating hoping that this would weaken the connection. I have a heat gun, a blow torch and ultimately an angle grinder but so far have been reluctant to use these for fear of damaging the sensor. Anyone been confronted with this type of problem before?
Any advice much appreciated.
