Lots of PB Blaster pentrating oil and a vice wrench. Let the PB sit for a little while before you strat cranking onit.

Make sure you put some anti-seize onthe the threads of the new O2 sensor to avoid this from happening again.

PB Blaster, torch it or do it when the car has been back from a drive. Sears has a stubby that works for the control arm bolts and the 02 sensor. That's what I have always used.
