Heat it up.

+2 - heat up around it with a torch and then try take in it out - 9 times out of 10 it comes out ..

 

[it's just a six]

My friend always uses a 1/2" impact gun & a O2 socket,he says it always works.

The socket says no impact gun should be used.

ill try the heat thing. hopefully that works cuz i doubt i could fit the socket and impact on it.

If it is stuck that bad you are going to need good torch with oxygen to get it hot enough. I had to take my truck to an exhaust shop to get mine out, ripped the threads completely out of one. I went through 2 cylinders of oxygen on my torch before saying fvck it. Good luck.

It might be easier to remove the dp from the car then you can have better access to the sensor and / or taking it to a shop for them to heat it up without the risk of burning up your car if the sensor is in a tight location.

A penetrant does actually work. Spray WD40 or something similar around the threads and let it sit for an hour or more. You can also try tightening just a hair then backing out. If all else fells use heat. It takes a while but you can use MAP gas to get it glowing red.

X2. also hit it with PB blaster when it's hot. It will pull the liquid down into the threads and metal.
