Tim, see that little screw in thing on the top of the probe? Find a nut that size, and have it welded in.

If not, you can always get a new one of those. They are called compression fittings, and instrument places should have them. I'm quite sure you can get them from Enzed or Pirtek also.

You should be able to get one the same size as the threaded hole on your exhaust.

From the picture it looks like an allen key, you could get a set of "gorilla" keys from Bunnings and basically give it a try.

The keys has a small allen style ball so you can flex the key a little for better leverage... worth a try.

Spray some WD-40 or 'Break Away' on the bung and let it penetrate for a few hours. Should make it easier. I still think you'll have to take off the dump pipe to get some decent leverage on it though.
