Re: [alfa] Replacing oxygen sensor 92 spider

["Jason Hagen" <hagen_jason1@xxxxxxx>]

I recommend buying from www.oxygensensors.com

You can buy a universal one for about $40 and just crink on the wire from 
your old O2 sensor.  I have used these parts on my 164, BMW 735i and others. 
 You will save a lot of money.

Be sure to soak the thread area of the O@ sensor with pentrating oil for a 
couple of days.  Run the car, and reapply, several times if possible.

Buy the socket sold at the same web-site above to make sure you can get a 
good grip around the sensor.  Hopedully, it will come out without to much 
effort.

Good luck!
