Default How do rear 02's come out?

Probably an easy one....
They seem surrounded b a heat sheild- Welded on the ex. pipe..., but there is some movement at the top (the part connected to the wire).
As a side note i have had my exhaust off by the dealer a few times and my 02's are clearly crosses (drivers side wire to pass side sensor) everything i have read about the LGM's and the install indicate that the sensors must be hooked up drivers side wire to drivers side sensor...it is odd that i have not thrown any codes, etc....i will switch them as i put the headers in through.
thanks for any help.
Thus far i have only sheered off one bolt ! But i'm still under the car.
Cant wait to hear these babys !

Rear 02s just unscrew like the front ones. The front 02s are the ones Lou is talking about having backwards left to right

I would check further on the front wires positioning as it sounds like yours are installed correctly. I have seen photos of this and in fact they do cross but this seems to be to help in ease of installation and may further up the wire be crossed again. Call LGM they will be happy to answer your questions.
Good Luck. I will continue to watch this thread as I am awaiting mine to arrive!!

Just to clarify this....the front 02 sensor wire that comes off the firewall on the drivers side MUST go to the exhaust pipe on the drivers side, always!!
The front 02 sensor wire that comes off the firewall on the passenger side MUST go to the exhaust pipe on the pasenger side, always!! :thumbs:

Ok i got em out i had to drop the pipe and then do it. Those suckers were torqued on (wrong). I required my largest wrench and lots of wd40. BTW (and i posted this in the above LGM thread. Has anyone dropped both these suckers in from up top(jackstands). I have read quite a few threads (all of them) and seem to be unable to get the pass. side in from above (w/ v-cover off).
