Ok, I'm still working on this darn midpipe. I did break all 4 header bolts loose....now I'm working on getting the O2's off before I go any further. Strangely enough I'm having a really hard time getting my hands up to unplug the upper 02 connectors. Do you guys normally just reach up there and unplug? Maybe my hands are just swollen from all the little cuts and bruises

So, any tips on gettign these 02's unplugged up top!?!?

I just put my h-pipe on yesterday, and the hardest part for me was the front o2 sensors. The drivers side was harder. It some work, but I eventually got my hand in there enough to reach the tab on the 02 connector with one finger while sliding the connectors apart by pulling by the wires.

i use a screwdriver to depress the tab that locks the connector and then pull with my other hand.

Unplugging is the easy part for the O2s. Now plugging the front ones back in is a 5 on the profanity scale.

Yeah, plugging it back in took hand dexterity I didn't know I had. Stuck one hand way up in there, holding the sensor plug in one finger, pulling the harness down with another finger, and using my palm to line them up and push it in. I actually had to use a metal coat hanger to push the tab and then pulled it out by the wires...my longest screw driver wouldn't even reach!

I usually unplug them from underneath the car, but when I put them back in, I pull the harness back up into the engine bay, plug the o2 in, then drop the o2 back behind the engine.
