Oxygen (O2) Sensor: Removal
1990 Chevrolet Hi-Cube 7.4 N, 400/M40SECTION Removal
- Ensure sensor is free of contaminants, avoid using cleaning solvents of any type. Sensor may be difficult to remove when engine temperature is less than 120°F (48°C). Excessive removal force may damage threads in exhaust manifold or pipe.
- Disconnect negative battery cable at battery. Disconnect electrical connector from oxygen sensor. Carefully remove oxygen sensor from exhaust pipe.
CAUTION:
Correct torque of O2 sensor is critical to prevent crushing glass beads in graphite anti-seize compound. Crushing glass beads will cause sensor to seize in exhaust manifold. This may require replacement of exhaust manifold upon next removal attempt.
