Yes, I got the O2 sensors removal socket. Anyone got any other tips?
The O2 sensor socket may flare out and round out the sensor if the sensor is really stuck. Cut the wires and use a deep-well socket or a 7/8" box wrench, if you have room. Use the O2 sensor socket when you install the new ones.

An impact helps or tap the wrench with a hammer to shock the threads. For extremely stubborn one use a torch to heat them up.

Use COPPER anti-seize on the new ones not silver.

Good luck.
