HELP WITH EXHAUST!! - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #70634 4 posts Started by NOVAKx17
i'm about done taking off my stock exhaust, but the bolts or nuts or whatever that hold the o2 sensors on are rounded off... whats the best thing i can do here? i was thinking about clamping them really tight with vice grip pliers and trying it that way, but if there is an easier way, let me know....

anyone know off hand how much new 02 sensors would cost and if i can just cut the wires and splice the new ones in? thanks

90$ from the dealer

since your hacking apart the exhast u might as well just clamp the **** out of it lol. i did the same with vicegrips.
vicegrips should get the job done.

1994 Celica GT- TenzoR 1.8in. Drop springs. 16mm wheel spacers.
well i was just out in my garage again and i tried a few different sockets again, but i figured i'd make it easy on myself, and i sprayed them down with P.B. Blaster. i'll do it again before i go to class tomorrow, and hopefully by this time tomorrow night, they'll come out for me no problem with the vice grips. biggrin.gif
