RE: Removing O2 Sensors
hahaha.... make sure you push both of the "buttons" on the connector. I thought there was only one, but there is one on both ends of the connector. Should not be hard at all.
when i say buttons its like any electrical connection that has the safety connection that needs to be depressed before it will let go. best of luck,

RE: Removing O2 Sensors
There's actually O2 sensor sockets for easy removal. If you don't use one of tose, you'll need a wrench and torch. So, it's super easy if you torch it first and you have an O2 sensor socket, it's fairly easy if you torch it first and use a wrench, about the same with the socket and no torch, but try and take them out without a torch and only a wrench is basically impossible[:@]you might get lucky and get one out, but all four.....no way!

If you're in a place that puts salt on the roads the torch might be the only thing that will work. But I've had good results with "PB blaster" on my exhaust system bolts on Texas cars, let it soak for an hour or two. I've not tried it on O2 sensors yet, I'll be doing mine in the next few months.

RE: Removing O2 Sensors
I hate to admit this, but I just gave up on the connectors and snipped the wires and put the new ones in using crimp connectors. I couldn't figure out the trick with the connectors and with a couple of them it's impossible to get two hands back there much less actually see the buggers.
