Did you heat the pipe ? Not the 02 sensor. @ this point you might need a new pipe or have to repair the 02 hole when it comes out. Is the nut striping or just not braking free?

i do have the rethreader tool cause one of the other ones had to be re treaded and i heated the pipe and the nut just ain,t braking free the nut is not striped yet but i,m afaid that might happen the worst part i seen the nut move alittle bit now it won,t move any further
