How do you remove a stuck or frozen O2 sensor?

Try warming the car by letting it run for a short time, but not letting it get hot. Also something like WD40 sprayed down in there overnight will help. Never Use WD40 unless you are absolutely sure the sensor is U/S. The silicon in wd40 will adversely affect the O2 sensor operation.

Try WD40 spray it on a soft cloth and gently rub the paint. Let the WD40 work to soften the paint over spray. WD40 is a solvent and a cleaner as well as a penetrating oil. It may take some time to get it all off just go slow and don't damage the finish of the car. Good Luck!


How to undo a very tight drain plug?

It depends on the materials concerned and whether its stuck due to over tightening or residue. Heat often helps as the hole expands outwards but won't help if the plug material expands more than the hole material. Alternate heat and cold can often break any residue due to the expanding and contracting process. Lubricants such as WD40 can help but don't use them anywhere near plastics. Alcohol can also sometimes help (meths or IPA, not drinkable stuff). It might help if you posted a bit more detail about the structure of the plug and hole.


Will latex paint go over WD40 oli?

Latex paint will go over WD40 but will not adhere. I work at paint stores and we spray our mixing tables with WD40 so that the paint cans will slide easily and any spilled or splashed paint will peel off if dried.

What is used to lube lug nuts?

Since lug nuts are used to hold the wheels on your car or truck you really don't want to lube or grease them at all. If the lug posts and nuts are rusted, however, you can use a rust removal compound or some WD40 to clean off the rust. To remove the oily residue from the WD40, spray the posts and nuts with brake parts cleaner - it dries quickly and leaves no film or residue behind.

How do you remove sticky tape from car doors after removing wind deflectors?

Hi, I would try WD40 first if that fails to work then try a product called "OOPS" you can buy it at most hardware stores or department stores. I got mine at Wal-Mart in the paint department. I've used it to remove glue residue from my car left by stickers. Be careful, OOPS will take paint right off, do not use on painted surfaces.
