1994 Civic EX 5MT: DTC 41 (O2 sensor heater)
When I had to get the o2 sensor out of the '91 Nissan (about the same age as
your Honda), penetrating oils had no effect. With the 4 foot long piece of gas pipe on the end of the breaker bar for leverage, it came right out. I used a crow's foot socket & it was strong enough. Just make sure whatever you use is a snug fitting 6 point & it shouldn't round off the nut.

Any other ideas? |
