    If you click "SHOW MORE" in the description above your be able to see Links to the Tools 🔧🔨🔧 I use. Also Clickable Chapters📋 📙 throughout the video and other Links 🎬 that may be of interest. I've had a few viewers request where they can buy the tools they see in some of my videos but it's not very clear that the "SHOW MORE" tab has a lot of information in that may be of interest. Admittedly the amazon links are associated with me and I would earn a small commission which helps towards keeping the channel funded.

    You may apply a bit of high temp anti-seize to the O2 sensor threads to prevent it from jamming next time you try to remove it.

      Does make sense to do that, though I think Suzuki sometimes add a paste that locks the sensors in just to add some fun to your life if you need to remove them. I remember removing this paste and adding anti seize.

      Allowing the O2 sensor/cat to warm up fully before removing it may have helped mine, hasn't been changed in 8 years and came off without having to use a torch 👍
      Welding gloves might be a good idea unless you don't mind burning your arm

      For years I've read warnings from the manufacturer that antiseize may foul out the O2 sensor and not to use it on the threads. I've never used it and not had a problem removing them.

    Great video..I have a 2002 toyota camry le 2.4 4cylinder I have 2 catalytic converter one on top and the other under the car .we're do I connect my pressure gauge.?or it doesn't matter which one?

      Thank you. It's normally before the cat as the pressure after the cat would be open to just atmospheric pressure.

    What does it means if the needle goes to -10 on the green area when you start the car and when you rep it up...is it good or bad?im a Diy.great video

      Thank you. That indicates it's under vacuum. Where did you connect the gauge on the car. I think the vacuum part is for the inlet manifold test.

      I connect it on the catalytic converter/exhaust manifold upstream airfuel ratio sensor.

      @@MariaGonzalez-ei1pv sounds like the right spot. Wonder why it would have a negative vacuum?

    I wouldn’t put E10 anywhere near my vehicles or petrol tools

      I have a suspicion it's the E10 as my silver cooper had E5 in and would accelerate quicker than I needed, this Black MINI has only had E10 in and the difference is incredible. Can it really be such a difference between the Cooper and the ONE or is the E10 playing a part in it's lack of punch. Even stalled it a couple of times yet it will drive totally fine but just lacks that ooomph
