Default Changing O2 Sensor

A lot has been posted about codes and O2 sensors, but I can't find any assistance with how to get at the front left sensor to change it. Are there any tricks to help get this sensor out a what appears to be a very tight space? BTW, I have long tube headers that make things appear even tighter.

Default if you have long tubes....

just get the car up pretty high....about 17 inches should work if your small. Obviously higher up if your a big person.

Take your wrench and you should be able to get them out pretty easily. I just put mine in yesterday....was no big deal at all...Just be careful on the wires. Don't let them bunch or twist up. Make sure you unplug the connector first and pull the wires down so they are loose.
