Default O2 sensor change

On my 94 corvette what is the best way to remove the o2 sensors without droping the exhaust. The drivers side dosent look to bad but the passenger side does.

I have a o2 socket but I just need to know how to get a wrench in there to remove them.

Just had my R/h aft O2 sensor replaced by a friend (96 coupe). He was able to get the old one out without dropping the exaust pipe, but could not get the new one installed until he dropped the pipe.

Using a crow's foot O2 removal tool you can rent from autozone for $15 you should be able to remove the two O2 sensors before the cats. I was able to on my 94 convertible. However, the exhaust is pretty easy to drop. The only tricky part is unbolting the passenger side converter. I left the drivers side one on and just unbolted from the flange. My only suggestion is to put a floor jack under the resonator to support the exhaust system while unbolting to make things easier.

Go to Autozone, there is a socket just for o2's, it has a slit almost all the way up. Pull the wire through the slit and tighten, it is a 1/2 in. drive.
