O2 sensor on downpipe
Any tips of removing this PITA??
My second attempt to install my headers went fairly ok. Finally removed the 3 rusted bolts that connects the downpipe
Now how do I remove that O2 sensor??? I cant torch that as well to loosen it right?

soaked, used a 22m open end wrench and even tried to get more torque with a pvc pipe addition.
Sorry, forgot to mention those are not my headers or my car. I just found a picture online since it was easier than taking one.
btw, 40k miles, 2 winters on the east coast in NYC.

The O2 sensor is connected by two white clips to a black plate directly above where the sensor is located. It's a 10mm bolt, if I remember right. Make sure the car is cooled down, because it's really tight up there and you will get burned. Once the plate is off, disconnect the harness from the top of the engine bay. It's between the engine and the firewall, and it's a green wire.
Once the harness and the plate are off, the sensor will come off with the downpipe, if you want to do it that way.
Good luck.

Thanks again! I will definitely give that a try. Should be a lot easier with it off the car with more room to work with.

You will notice wires connecting o2 sensor will be twisted counter clock wise when taking off o2 senor (w/o disconnecting it from wiring harness). Just twist clockwise about equal # of turns when you mount o2 sensor back so wires are not wounded too tight.
