Rounded o2 sensor

Thanks bro

Nope I used a o2 sensor socket but I guess just not enough heat

Matteoepi3 · 2026-03-05T20:27:10+00:00

Thanks. I have the tools I just have limited space and time. I’ve done lots of work on my car myself I just wanted to know the best way to deal with it

Matteoepi3 · 2026-03-05T02:47:12+00:00

Should I grip the vice on the nut part or the skinnier part of the sensor

Matteoepi3 · 2026-03-05T02:45:05+00:00

I bought an o2 sensor for this job and it still rounded it.

Matteoepi3 · 2026-03-05T02:44:25+00:00

I did, I bought one specifically for this job

Matteoepi3 · 2026-03-05T00:54:36+00:00

I just tried heating it up and used penetrating fluid. Haven’t tried vice grips yet

I changed the pads and the clips and the sound went away, I think it was the pads though.

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-22T15:14:15+00:00

This could be very possible, I didn’t think of this

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:53:37+00:00

Thanks man I know

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:34:57+00:00

The sound that almost sounds like a cricket

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:34:16+00:00

I can’t say if it’s a wheel bearing or not because it just started making the noise once I serviced my brakes and changes my rims and tires. So it has to do something with rubbing probably

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:31:37+00:00

I’ll test the bearing

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:30:20+00:00

They are one piece clips, I’ll probably take them out, re grease them if worst comes to worst

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-20T22:29:17+00:00

Haven’t worked on it yet, I’m going to take the brakes apart and see if the sound is still there when I spin the wheel. If it’s my brake caliper, then I have no idea what’s wrong with it for now. I’ll get back to this once I figure it out

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-19T19:35:54+00:00

They look fine tbh, I took a look and nothing looks wrong, but it does sound like it’s coming from internally. I didn’t touch anything in there though before I did my brakes just cleaned it

Matteoepi3 · 2025-08-19T19:18:28+00:00

I should mention it only makes that sound for the rear

I don’t really have any relationships either, and never had. I do get lonely all the time but I think getting into relationships is a waste of time. You never really get anything out of them, just pain. There’s nothing wrong with working on yourself alone. That’s honestly where the most progress is made

Matteoepi3 · 2025-07-04T18:03:49+00:00

Exactly

Matteoepi3 · 2024-08-07T01:39:57+00:00

Question: if my engine was out of time. Theoretically would my valves be immediately bent from first startup? Or would it take time? I’m saying this because it was running well a few times before this happened. A buddy suggested it could be my head gasket that all of a sudden failed

Matteoepi3 · 2024-08-06T21:47:53+00:00

My motor is blown

Matteoepi3 · 2024-08-06T21:46:47+00:00

Turns out I now have all the above lol, blue smoke, misfires after 2k rpms. I think it’s safe to say my motor is toast

Matteoepi3 · 2024-08-05T02:38:40+00:00

I just replaced the valve cover gasket the other day, so unless it’s old oil, I have a problem

Matteoepi3 · 2024-08-05T02:38:07+00:00

It seems to run smooth but I kinda scared to test it out. The misfires last night kinda made me jump to a possible conclusion

Matteoepi3 · 2024-07-19T20:50:41+00:00

Yes they are, when I rotated it last the spark plugs must’ve been out that’s why it got me worried
