Oxygen (O2) Sensor Removal

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Removing O2 Sensors with the Mini-Ductor^® Induction Heater & Flameless Torch

Seized O2 sensors are notoriously difficult to remove. If penetrating lube, like PB Blaster, or heating it up with a blowtorch doesn't work, the next step is usually a nut splitter or cutting it off with a saw. If the non-invasive methods don't work, you might have to end up either leaving it in or buying a new sensor.

As a result, the process is time consuming, costly and a naked flame can cause irreparable damage to the part and surrounding area.

However, help is at hand. The Mini-Ductor handheld induction heating tool range heats metal parts in seconds using Invisible Heat^®.

This allows all types of adhesives bonded to metal, fasteners bonded with thread lock compound, and seized hardware to be removed and released much quicker and safer than by traditional naked flame heating.

Using a torch leads to heat being blown away from the load, wasting its energy and transferring its heat to unwanted areas. With the Mini-Ductor range, nearly all the energy pulled is applied to the load, using invisible heat, making the tool faster and more energy efficient.

The Mini-Ductor heat resistant coils come in different diameters and lengths to suit different nut sizes and a standard preformed work coil or Bearing Buddy (rope style) flexible, coil is ideal for this application.
