Hi all, I am new here, but got an o2 problem. I read the above posts prior to removing the sensor from my 94 Del Sol exhaust manifold. It came out smoothly, and slowly, BUT, after removal was done, the o2 sensor threads stripped off inside the manifold. I bought a thread chaser to remove the old o2 threads that were inside the o2 sensor hole in the manifold, but I can’t even get it started in the hole to clear the threads. Should I go through the job of removing the manifold to make the job sight more accessible?

Or is there a quick fix I just don’t know about.

Thanks, and it is getting cold out to work on the car, (no garage) oh, and do you think a garage mechanic would do it for me without laughing too much at me for the great job I have done.
