Lambda sensor replacement

[AndyPembs182]

I’m going to be replacing my upstream Lambda sensor on my 182 this weekend so thought I’d look for a how-to guide. And couldn’t find one!

Does anyone have a guide they could send? Or maybe some helpful hints?

Plenty of wd a wire brush and a big pipe wrench or spanner.
Loosen and tighten a little to prevent it sheering

No guide needed really , just unplug it, get a massive spanner on it and pray it comes out.

Last one I did was completely welded in, as I finally got it turning, thinking I'd won, I got it out to find that the threads had come out with it, luckily the cat was knackered anyway.

I think the front lambda on a 182 is in the manifold though not the cat like on the 172.

Get yourself one of these if you want to keep your old sensor.
