So after not wanting to mess with taking off the exhaust bolts (they almost ways break off) and dropping the exhaust so I can access the sensor I decided on a different mode of attack. For those of you that do not know where this little bugger is, it is located on the passenger side lower block. You can barely se it if you look over the tire into the engine bay. I could get a wobbly on it and take it off, but I still could not reach it to unplug it if I did get it off. So you can imagine what a pain in the but it would be to re-attach a new one and then get the bolt rethreaded after replacing it. Impossible. I decided to unbolt the motor mounts and jack the engine up about 3". This put my exhaust manifold high enough that I could reach in and do everything from the side with minimal effort. I did take the front tire off as well just for ease of movement. I hope this helps someone else in the future that doesn't want to risk breaking the bolts on the exhaust. Cheers
