Downpipe install help. (I mean HELP!!)

Any advice on getting the driver side O2 sensor out?
That thing is tough to get at. I have O2 sensor socket, but very hard to get the thing in there. I saw an old post that said you can drop the downpipe out and then remove - it doesn't seem clear that there is much give in the wire to allow this. Can the wire be disconnected first? Also, any tips on getting the top downpipe bolt off on the driver side? Can this be done from below without removing the axle?
