Seized O2 sensor / stripped threads

[Noname]

Bloody hell. Nothing is ever easy with these stupid trucks honestly. A simple task of removing a downstream 02 sensor. Seized. Won’t budge. Ended up getting it out an hour later, bent, with the freaking threads all messed up on the converter…wow awesome…makes me so happy … best time of my life honestly lol I need a drink after this BS

Just remember to always put anti-seize on when you install O2 sensors. Many people don't do this. I put anti-seize on just about every bolt (unless it specifies otherwise).

Looks like you already got the thread chaser. That was going to be my recommendation.
