Rear O2 replacement?
So I removed my stock exhaust on my 06 MR to install my new TBE, and came to find that the rear oxygen sensor is frozen in the factory cat. I could not believe it...the car only has 3k miles.......
Anyway, the dealership wants $400 bucks for a new one, and when I searched, I found a few people talking about generic O2 sensors from summit. Would something like this work? Do all 4-wire O2 sensors have the same voltage range as the factory mits sensor?
Basically I am looking for some alternative to wasting $400 bucks on an OEM sensor.....any help would be great!

i eventually got it out with a vice grip after cutting the wire so i had the whole cat and sensor off the car, but the threads on the sensor were shot...took it to a mechanic and he fixed the threads and put it in the test pipe for me
try that..i called mitsu as well and they told me the same price
f that

Nice of Mits to use some anti-sieze..LOL.
Honestly, I have tried heating the cat, I have used penetrating oil and every other thing you could imagine.........but still nothin. At this point it is trashed....I just need an alternative....
