Default Bought zoldman 02 for fronts... About to go put them in.... Anything specific i should know?

Is it easy to find/get to the wiring harness to unclip the old sensors?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Note: I have removed the sensors from the downpipes, but never unclipped them from the harness too..


Thanks
Jordan

Default Unclipping from the harness is the simple part. I use a crowsfoot attachment

to bust mine loose.

2' extension w/ a flexible joint thing helps too.

Default Mine just arrived yesterday, so I'll be doing this, too...

I even bought a set of crow's feet for the job.

Please post any problems you incur.

Default if one is stuck crow's foot might not work i welded 2 sockets together then cut a slot for wires

you have to cut the square drive portion of the first socket off then wled that to the other no you have a super deep socket...then cut a slit to fit the wires in OR if its a real pos then cut the wire from 02 sensor as it will allow the socket to seat better.

anti-sieze compound.
