I Agree My advice when removing them HEAT i used one for a good 5 to 10mins heating as much of the exhaust as i could but not the sensor if that makes sense 1 Good fitting socket or spanner and give it a darn good tug Reason why i say dont oil it is - it'll just burn off when you first drive... and stink Ziggy
