Next time you have a stuck fastener try FreezeOff. It is available at most auto supply stores and has worked for me many times

This right here is why I enjoy this forum. People willing to help out others with no thought of compensation.

Thank you purpledeuce.

Yep, Murphy sucks. Thanks for the offer purpledeuce. I picked up a new one from HD. Plan on using anti seize too.

Another lesser known hi-temp anti-seize is milk of magnesia.

anytime man, as the above poster mentioned. This forum is full of good folks, I’ve been helped many times and always help where I can.

Anti-seize is a call, my rule is if I don’t it to move loctite, if I need it to come back out, anti-seize. A word of caution - don’t get any anti-seize on the tip of the o2 sensor. Just a little dab on the threads. Don’t be alarmed if you see some smoke from the connection on start up, the anti-seize will burn off a little.

Thank you purpledeuce.
I’m the one that should be thanking you. I can’t begin to imagine your sacrifices you made on 9/11 and every day since
