Thanks, Brickboard- heat and ice loosened O2 sensor! 700 1990

I couldn't get my O2 sensor out. Followed advice I found on brickboard. I heated the O2 sensor and exhaust pipe with a propane torch at the same time, then took an ice cube and held it on the O2 sensor only. This must have shrunk the O2 sensor enough to break the seal, and I was able to remove it easily with only an adjustable wrench (I didn't have an 02 wrench). Thanks, brickboard, without you I would be spending a lot of extra money to hire someone else to do these jobs, plus you are helping me learn how to do a lot of repairs on my car, something I always wished I knew how to do.
