Oxygen sensors?
Most of the time with the proper tool, factory installed oxygen
sensors break loose with little difficulty, since the factory
uses the proper anti-seize compound on them. Sometimes they can
be a bit stiff to thread out because stuff has built up on the
threads, but they generally come out. It's when some backyard
bozo replaced them already and cheaped-out by not using the
proper anti-seize, that you may run across difficulty.
Some replacement oxygen sensors come with a small package of
anti-seize compound in the box. Some dishonest auto parts store
clerks steal them. Check before you leave the store.

HEY! I resemble that remark!!!
Actually, why steal a little tiny packet, when they usually ship a dozen
spares in the box, and a whole tube of the stuff costs a buck with the
employee discount?
But, I suppose people will take anything...
