O2 sensor. Most likely the cause.

No problem.

Lots of pb blaster (or any kind of penetrating oil) and a breaker bar would be your best bet.

the penetrating oil WILL NOT go past the copper o rings...

It could also make a wrench slip off and round off the head...

Thats what a 6 point wrench is for. No slipping there. And penetrating oil may not be the best, but its better than nothing.

If you have a better idea feel free to pitch in.
