What happens here

The presenter attempts to remove a seized O2 sensor from an old exhaust component using a wrench. After applying significant force, the wrench slips, stripping the sensor's threads. This forces him to cut the O2 sensor out instead. He reiterates that he is not a professional and that sometimes parts will break during the process. He then proceeds to cut out the O2 sensor from the old component using a reciprocating saw.

Goal: Extract the O2 sensor from the old exhaust component.
