NEED HELP....REAR O2 SENSOR NOT COMING OUT FOR NOTHING...need opinions how to get off
i finally got a new rear o2 sensor from the dealer after my o2 code beencoming on and off for the last 6 months,
i jacked the car and went underneth and could not take off the old o2 sensor
i tried using every tool possible in my friends garage and no matter how hard i turned it would not budge
i really dont want to take it to someone to change for something so easy to do myself
i sprayed silicone spay , wd40 and still did not loosen up
Any one have opinions on what i can do to get it off
thank in advvance for any suggestions

I would spray penetrating oil on it, then start the car and let it run for a few minutes to warm up - you can start the car while it's in the air - after a few minutes shut the car off and spray more oil on the O2 sensor, wait a few minutes and, while the exhaust is still somewhat hot try removing the O2 sensor. Also, they make a special tool for this and it may help you get better leverage. It looks like a regular, deep socket, only it has a groove running through it that will allow the wire to clear. Borrow one of these from a parts store the day you do this. I've been able to remove mine w/ an adjustable wrench but they came off easily. If I had trouble like you, I would get the proper tool. Make sure that when you install the new O2 sensor you apply some anti-seize on the threads. Good luck.

There's no bolt known to man that won't budge with enough applications of Penetrating spray (like Liquid Wrench, NOT WD-40) + A really hot torch + a cheater bar. Soak it, tap it with a hammer for 1 minute. Soak it. Tap. Repeat for 10 minutes. Let it sit overnight. Soak & tap. Now try wrenching it with the proper O2 sensor socket. Still no? Burn it. Either oxy-acet or even good MAP gas torch with a swirl tip. (about $40 at home despot)Once it's cooked wrench it.
It'll go.

This might be redundant, but make sure you are using an O2 sensor socket to remove it. Gives you more leverage using a socket than an adjustable wrench! The O2 sensor socket is a 14mm socket with a groove lengthwise for the wire.

Try an actual penetrating fluid, like PB Blaster or S'OK; both are excellent. WD-40 and silicone spray are only lubricants, not penetrating fluids. Using penetrating fluid, don't be stingy with it, and let it soak awhile. Then spray and soak again.
