Penetrating oil.

I used a 12" adjustable wrench when I painted and rewrapped the pipe.

Idealy a tubing wrench. Most folks dont have one that big. My largest is 5/8ths.

Also after the penentrating oil. Try using 2 shop hammers. One on oposite side that you tap the cast iron. It can break the corrosion free. Just be careful not to break the plastic intake.

Do not use a pipe wrench. It will crush the fitting.

Use neversieze on the threads, when installing it. I wish the factory did on exhaust related parts.

DPFE sensor. You dont need to replace it unless you get a code, linking to it. The motorcraft replacements. Seem to last longer.
