Title: passanger side h pipe and o2 sensor removal
Post by: daboss351 on November 18, 2007, 01:31:24 PM
How in the hell do you get that o2 sensor out! Anyone have some tips/tricks for getting the sensor out, or getting at the bolts to get the h pipe out?

the new fuel lines are laying there on the ground next to the car, they are next. I just put in my new power steering rack, and i needed the h pipe out of the way to access the steering shaft. I just got the drivers side off, and put my new h pipe on the drivers side.

Went and bought the tool, and tried to get the car to start to check for leaks in the power steering. No dice, stupid battery finally ped out, so now I have to buy a new one. O and I found another brake line leak, but this line is the one that comes from the master down the k member area. Its gonna SUCK replacing it, but its better to find it now then when I'm driving down the road...

That Mark VII would sure make a good parts car for a T-Bird.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Its turning into a bigger project then I wanted, but I will have another. I already am saving for a southern one to swap all the parts into.
Plus the 5.0 leaks massive oil and its leaking coolant. Needs V/c gaskets, and I believe a water pump.

sounds like $500 was waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much for that car. good luck with it though.

btw, did you get the new fuel lines on?

Yea well its only got 95k on it. It just sat for so long... I will make it good enough to get me around.
no they are waiting. I got frustrated cause its been up like that for weeks and I wanted it done so I threw the wheels back on and stuck it on the ground.
