O2 sensor stud

[NathanOfSeattle]

While changing my O2 and Air Fuel Ratio sensors (my car is California emissions spec) I removed the stud because the bolt was completely seized and is basically fused to the stud. I'd like to replace the stud. I called the dealership and they don't just sell the stud. Any ideas where I can get a replacement?

Hit up Tacoma Screw. They'll take care of you as long as you bring in the old one.

Thanks, but this isn't a Toyota specific screw is it? And that's a nice pic. Ocean shores?

I very highly doubt it's Toyota specific. That'd be pretty costly for them to produce.

The pic is in Warrenton, OR. Just south of the Peter Iredale shipwreck.

If nothing else you could take your stud down to lowes, ace, home depot, etc and find the bolt dimensions by finding a nut that will thread onto it. From there you COULD just get a bolt of the same size and run that. Not saying that's ideal, but it's an option.

I am confident that Tacoma Screw could set you up right though, or atleast point you in the right direction.

Edit** Turns out the studs are M8x1.25 which a pretty common size... I imagine even Autozone or Orielly's would have them.

Most likely you're right. If all else fails, McMaster Carr will almost always take care of you.

Take it into any NAPA. $5 says they can hook you up.

Get it in stainless steel if you can. Less trouble down the line
