Pretty sure this was the demon bolt that trains other bolts to be demon bolts. This was the demon bolt overlord.

I also used the aluminum floor jack handle extension tube as a breaker bar extension once too.... made it like 4 feet long! Bolt snapped like butter.

Good luck swapping out the O2 sensors, I'm sure that will go easier.

Thanks Mark. After 2 days of trying we finally got it.

Brother, if you want me to run her with the reader connected, I'll do it, as soon as I get home from work.

I don't know that it will help much, we would need logs, meaning a real-time string of logged parameters, usually in excel or CSV format.

I think you'd be good with just replacing that sensor, though. Seems pretty cut and dry.

I know its a bit late now but I did my HFC's just a few weeks ago. Am I the only one on here who took off the intake boxes/pipe?? This made the demon bolt easy to get to with a long extension, just a straight to it. I had them both off in less than 5 min once the airbox was removed.

I had no CEL light.

You're very lucky then, because even with the long extension we had, and the air boxes & tubes removed, the damn bolt wasnt budging an inch. One cat, we cut off. The other, we got lucky and the bolt snapped off. Thank the lord, because it was gonna be a loooong night.

It was a 2 day job, we tried cutting the head off the bolt, we tried burning it off, it just sucked... BIG time.

eastwest2300 · 12-28-2012, 04:27 PM

*UPDATE* I just bought one o2 sensor for the exhaust manifold, I picked up some Anti Seize compound, and Advance Auto Parts lets you rent out o2 sensor sockets. So it looks like next week, I'll be addressing this issue.

*Update* Pics posted!!! on the first page, first post. Take a look, and tell me what you guys think. Thanks.

Ok, I see the sensor, what is that around it?

eastwest2300 · 01-01-2013, 03:10 PM
