[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15645028, member: 166576"] I see this a lot on front wheel drive Lexus V6s. Over time from all the heat cycles the metals just all fuse together. We do what we can, but if I have to spend extra time to essentially destroy the sensor and threads and have to retap and clean the parts, Im charging for my labor. MOST places, if they are good, will internal the time I spent fixing the threads, but thats usually if the job has been sold and are replacing the sensor as part of a fix. Just coming in cold off the street and not knowing what condition the job is in, a quote of 1 hour of labor is fair. Especially being in a cold weather rust state, 1 hour at $135 is extremely reasonable for dealer work. All the possible corrosion if the car has been in service for a few years really can make a relatively easy job a nightmare. My expectation would be that the bad sensor would be removed and the threads retapped and anti seize applied. Sometimes, theres really no saving the threads as the metal is just plain bad. Gods, Im so grateful to not live in a rust state [/QUOTE]
