Hey everyone, new on here. Today I tried to remove my stock 04 Z06 passenger side exhaust manifold so I could wrap the starter in a heat shield. I got stuck on 2 parts, the first was separating the exhaust manifold from the block, even though I was able to get all the bolts out of it. I sprayed PB Blaster and left it for the night.
The second issue I'm having a hard time with is unclipping the blue lock on the O2 sensor harness for the passenger side manifold. The car's lifted just enough for me to slide underneath on a creeper and I'm afraid if I twist any of the wires too drastically they could break due to age.
Thank you all for the help and for the time!
