EDIT: I got my O2 sensor, went to install it so I sprayed the rusty O2 sensor (not CAT stud, sorry for the typo) bolts with wd 40. Got under there today and put pressure on a stud and one snapped. So I guess I will be dropping the exhaust. Does anyone know if the studs are replaceable or are they part of the pipe? I'm thinking if I can extract the studs and replace them. My neighbor welds and he thinks he can weld new studs on. Should I just go with a pipe and get a new CAT too as long as I'm dropping everything? Where can I get the pipe for a good price?

if your talking about the one in the header yeah there part of the manifold but i think they come out to as for the 2nd one cant tell ya sorry what kinda motor the 22re or the 3slow?

yeah they come out cause i used bolts..just drop it and use a pipe wrench or vice grips!

I only have one O2 for my year (22r) and it's right before the cat. I got the replacement from toyota today and didn't expect the bolts to snap. Oh well, I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend! I figure I might as well replace the cat too, its original to the vehical. 166,000 miles. The heat shield just fell off in my driveway the other day.

I checked out your my space link. You ride trials?

Your first mistake was to use wd40.Its a lube. Next time use PB Blaster,let it soak overnight,re-apply then take your nut off.Then apply never seeze when you re-install.

evil dingo yeah i try to hit up some trails but there not to many here in milwaukee but theres lots of water holes lol i had fun with her up north where i lived for a wile but i moved back down here

and yeah i though there was two o2's on your rig sorry i know the 22re's came with one and some came with two i think there the newer ones though

as for the bolt now you only need one bolt mines been this way for a long time and never leaks!!!!

No, not trails, "Trials" bike trials, I saw you had a video on your myspace link. I guess thats not you in the vid. I ride, thats why I was asking.

As far as only having one bolt, did you replace yours and install a new one with one bolt or is it the orginal with a rusted off bolt. The reason I ask is because if its the ogrinal, it probably has alot of carbon and rust build up preventing it from leaking. I would imagine if you tried to install new one with one bolt it would not seat the gasket properly or were you able to get it to seat properly?

ha ha me ride a bike my god the last time i did i broke my pointer toe! dont ask please but lets just say i was going fast and the chain well poped lol

but for the o2 yes i was in the parking lot of autozone and i took off my old o2 when the left bolt broke! yelled a few words not ment for yotatech.com and then just put the new one in tightened it down real good and started it and what do you know it dont leak (from there) muffler was ripped off a few times wheeling and the header has a striped bolt on the head but the o2 dont leak!!!

bigt

get this i pout a brand new 200 dollar os sensor in my trial rig and it doesnt fit right in the older ypipe from a 80s 4runner and now the flange has cracked!!!
so i guesss the only way to use it will be to weld it in place

i have the worse luck and spend too money on truck parks lol

nice idea there man!!!!

Evil.Dingo

thanks 22re. I figured as long as the o2 sensor is before the cat it should work. Saved me time and $$ until I rebuild. Im gonna be puttin a header on and changing the whole exhaust this winter, so I would have felt like spending money on any part of th exhaust would have been a waste. And my exhaust currently has no leaks. I know I would have run into problems with the CAT bolts !!
