Definitely need vise grips and get the exhaust nice and HOT and soak it good with penetrating fluid before getting it hot and after. I'd think that's the best shot at getting a little stub like that out

 

I pryed up the vent window (perks of not being single cab here I guess?) and used a bent antenna off my flatbed to get leverage on the latch. Anything else that could bend like that wouldn't have the strength to open the latch. But the antenna was perfect. Then used a tiny screwdriver to unbolt the outer window bolt and stick my arm in to the rear slider window latch. Crawled in through there (barely fit so this wouldn't have been possible on my Taco) and open it up.

No doubt there. I bet anything newer than my Tundra would be significantly more difficult.

 

including all the weird little shit that each of you do. all those little habits that nobody knows about. you find out a lot. When you walk in and she's carrying on a conversation with the lobster that is about to go into the pot... yeah, weird shit like that. (haha j/k about the lobster)

not good enough. j/k. better than nothing and the love is there so you'll both be fine. All it takes bud. The minute the love (and the word love in marriage is defined as "unconditional") isn't there, its not going to work.

 

As painful as things were with my ex moving in together was what led to me breaking up with her so I suppose I'm glad I did

 

We can get are own home when ever. My family has a few of rental properties. Just its cheaper to live with the parents lol

 

The GF asked yesterday if I was ready to move to her town and I said not yet but I'm not opposed to the idea.

She has been dropping hints that she doesn't want to be living alone etc too

 

Enough left showing to tac a bolt onto it?

 

You can also take 2 flat screwdrivers and pull the complete back window out. Takes 2 minutes to pull out and about 10 to out it back in. Plus you don't break anything. I locked my keys in the truck with it running in my driveway back in November.

 

that's a good idea actually. I was planning on pulling the clamp tomorrow and seeing if I could get a bolt on there. I didn't try when it broke, just clamped it and left. Happened when I was heading out to Don's to drop off the original sensor.

 

Or you just make a spare and stick it in a place that can be accessed outside the truck. Or a spare in the house like a normal person....

I need to get a spare for my work van lol

 

I'll have to check that out. Never crossed my mind

 

Probably what a exhust shop would try to fo first anyways

 

Will probably just take it in. Last thing I want is to make it worse. @Empty_Lord do you know if that piece (with the sensor bung) unbolts before the cat or is it part of the cat? Couldn't tell because of the heat shield.

I don't want to buy ANOTHER cat. lol

 

I bought my own airbag and wedge the locksmiths use. I’ve opened a Camry and Corolla so far.

 

I would love to see a video of this.

 

It’s just a stud. Usually I can get those out with vise grips then replace with a bolt

just pull the sensor out

 

Happened to me with the ball joints. Cut a slit in the stud and use a screwdriver to get it out.

Mine was really stuck so I used an impact bit on my gun.

 

OwO

 

Yeah, sensor is fine - what I was wondering if that bung is on the same piece as the converter.

good idea. might try it.

 

Use a dremel. It’s most likely stuck, go pick up an impact screwdriver.
