    Need help with removing the cover to the O2 sensor (Sensor 2 Bank 1). The nuts have rusted and are now gone. Any ideas with getting this thing off?

    Sawzall or Dremel with cutting wheel.
    Covers aren't necessary.
    Use Vice grips to remove the 8m x 1.25 studs. Clean holes with 8m tap.
    Auto parts stores have the studs and nut.
    Use ONLY DENSO Sensors.

    I ordered this from Amazon and it got me there. I used a 90 degree bit holder on my impact to get it wedged on and then a ratchet to break it open.
