Gonna have to start a 'Tools by Necessity' thread for all the crazy things I've bought just to do things on my Land Rover

 

Got it done! Here's how I did it...

Made a trip to Harbor Freight to pick up some ramps. I was able to remove the heat cover and sensor with a small socket wrench and of course 7mm and 8mm sockets. A little tip for anyone doing this. A shallow 7mm socket would have worked better on the furthest bolt holding the heat shield on, but a normal one worked okay.

To get the connector disconnected, I amazingly was able to just use both my arms and squeeze them one on each side of the exhaust. I mean really squeeze.

Well, I'll see how it does over the next few days... Thanks for the help guys!!!
