    CAUTION: Removal of the sensor is easier if the exhaust system is warmed up slightly. Be careful that it is not too hot to work on safely. Applying penetrating oil to the threads while moving the sensor back and forth will also aid in removal and will decrease the chance of exhaust pipe thread damage.
