Default Swapping o2's

Installing headers on my 15 and my front O2 won't come out, blew apart my O2 socket and rounded it, will a rear work in the front if I remove the little aligning tab inside the connector so it fits?


Edit: they are different, eventually got the one out with vice grips and hammering on them, the bung from bowling greens threads came with it, what junk
