You mentioned wanting to get new O2's, can you cut and splice as a temporary fix until you can get some new ones?

Yeah I may just do that. Wish I had some shrink wrap on hand though.

Man, I hope that I remembered to put anti-sieze on the threads of my O2's when I did my SW's...

Since I can't get the connector off, I decided I didn't want to cut up my rear o2. Will anything bad happen if I drive around with no left front o2?

i have seen this many times when a customer changed his o2's and forgot the antiseize lube

if you have no front o2 you will basically run on a non corrected preset fuel map... so you prolly wont get best power/fuel mileage

what would ya know....remembered i had this tiny little screwdriver and decided to give it one more go.....got the connector off. woot. Looks like I won't be needing to buy an o2 sensor anymore. I still may need it to pass inspection though. Im not sure if they look on the underside or not.

Awesome, glad you got it...we don't need no stinkin' special tools lol.

They do visual here in Jersey, not sure about MO though. What are you using in the rear O2 bung now?
