O2 Sensor Nut Stripped
working on my exhaust manifold/cat install, it seems the downstream O2 sensor nut is stripped. went ahead w/ the removal to try to get a better angle out of the vehicle(1997 civic lx). no luck, my o2 socket seems to get a bite, but slips every time.
thinking of just replacing it as maintenance, but i need the car right away. no one carries denso(OEM), but i could get a bosch for ~$40+ w/ an advance auto coupon.
so, should i...
try other means to extract the sensor?
buy a new bosch sensor?
or drive the car w/out it until the denso gets shipped?
