All I have is a propane torch, but the cat got red hot.  That’s why I may take it to a muffler shop where they have oxy-acetylene torches.

How much heat? it really needs to get HOT!

YMMV,

Well, first attempts with a 22mm box wrench and heat have failed. Should I
break it off and use a regular 22mm socket?  Get a 7/8" special O2 sensor
socket, which is slightly larger, so I can put a long bar on it? Take it to
a muffler shop?



Other ideas?



Thanks!
