I had the same problem.. Took me ages

Spray some wd40 in there too.. It will help

nasty. but better than my solution - cutting an offset ring spanner in half and cutting a whole in the ring end for the wires.

haha thats awesome.

Iv found applying what ever rust penetrator your using, on the sensor every day for a week does the trick.

That or whipping up a ghetto pipe spanner like Dunc's

If you just got a just jap split dump/front, then isnt your factory pipe going to be coming out too?

Just leave it in till you take the stock one out. Makes life simple!

If you are after a good procduct to release rust, at JHardies we use Reducteur H-72 it works in a short time but is useless as a CRC type of spray, I typically use H-72 then CRC when I've broken the rust's hold.

Its distributed by blackwoods and these guys

I ran into the same problem, used wd40 and it still wouldnt budge.

SO....

I chopped it in half then put a socket over it and used a breaker bar.

All i did was curse and swear at it and left it there for itself to realize what a jerk it had been to me and hopefully when that day comes, it will unscrew itself from the piping....

[urtwhistle]

or you could do what me and the old man did last weekend. drop an angle grinder in there. chop half way through. the snap it off with the vice grips then put a normal socket on it. easy as pie

duncans method will work well, BUT is a hastle...

are you putting a new one in there /running without it? if so just cut the wires and use a socket/breaker bar setup

if you need to keep it go to your mechanic and he will probably have a socket with one side missing where the wires can go

i remember aat work we had one that was so stubborn we left the crc in ova nite even we had to take the pipe off and do it on the bench lol and we were still strugglin sometimes they can be difficult.
