O2 sensor won't come out!
I just broke a socket wrench because of the stupid O2 sensor. What's the best way to get it out? I didn't try from underneath, but it does not look like that would make it any easier.
Also, does the car need to have cooled down all the way to do this?

I just put her on ramps and I'll try again tomorrow, will work on it before warming her up.

do you guys think I should worry about not forcing it too much? I mean, could I potentially break something in there?
thanks bizzarro... I might try something like that too.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Get an American-made 1/2" breaker bar and six-point socket.

Spray on some lube and let soak over night, spray on some more and start the engine up and let the car run for a few minutes. We call that the old 'heat wrench' trick.
Use a quality 6 point socket and it should loosen up for you.
Make sure the exhaust is cooled down before installing the new O2.
