It either may or may not be necessary to pull the fuse to reset the circuit, depending on your year, although I'm not certain.
Do you know where to get an acetylene torch if you don't have one and don't wanna dish out the same amount as 2 o2 sensors for the torch? Like renting it or something

Edit:
I just researched some, and I found out that you can a simple home depot torch and a propane gas cylinder, about the same temperature. You could also use MAPP gas with the same torch, but I hope that doesn't burn the sensor @ 5500C . If anyone has more information about this, please post
