2000 Toyota Camry 3.0L V6, the bank one sensor one heater circuit is bad and needs to be replaced. The O2 code is actually causing the TRAC OFF light to come on. Tried to replace the O2 but whoever changed the last one must have crossthreaded it because i could not get a full turn out of it even after using penetrating oil and heating it with a propane torch.

Going to try again tomorrow to get the sensor out this time probably heating with an Oxy/Acetylene Torch. I'm worried about the threads on the exhaust manifold, i do not want to but a 250 dollar manifold. Any Ideas or Suggestions?
