All,

I'm very new at this so be patient. I want to paint my heat shield but I'm having problem removing the sensor (Heat Oxygen).



#1 I can remove the plug, but the male is stationary
#2 Do I need to remove the sensor itself?

Thanks!

 

they make a socket especially for the removal of o2 sensor, it has a slit up the side for the wires to hang loose, any parts store should have it, its 7/8" fyi

 

Do not try to get that sensor off. You will regret it. Besides the fact that you ain't gettin it off any way.

That male end is just secured by a clip. Just unsnap it. It'll be Ok.

 

Ok, got it out. The female part that was stationary had a little tab underneath that had to be pressed. Thanks!

 

Thanks! Here is the end result:

 

Looks good, now let us know how long that paint holds up on there. Thanks.

 

Its header paint, rated for up to 2000 degrees. hope it last till new headers are order.

 

Me too!

 

it'll last. i have that paint right on my headers and it lasts.
