aftermarket o2 sensor
GL getting the old one out. It's a bitch!
I had to take an 1.5" box end wrench + put it around a pair of vice grips to get enough torque on my old one. When it finally did come out (3 bloody knuckles + many adjustments of the wrench) it looked like someone took a torch to the old one.
It might be easier to take the header off + get it w a breaker bar.

O2 sensor socket? Is that like the larger spark plug socket?
It might not be THAT bad if you have those tools. I can't honestly remember if I used PB blaster or if I was out. But that stuff is god. Mine was just baked in there. Stupid SOB

The best way I've found to remove rusted O2 sensors is with a big box end wrench, or a crowsfoot. O2 sensor sockets have weak walls and will deform with any serious torque.
