bascially unhook the o2 wiring harness and run the engine till its warm, be careful not to burn yourself.

with engine warm teh threads will be expanded and the sensor easier to remove.

you will need a special socket to remove it as the wires will hit the top of a normal socket and damage the sensor or wiring if you can maange to get the socket on it. dont use a wrench or you will probably round it off unless you have a large 6 point.

are you positive you want to do this?

cant say ive ever heard of a diagram for this.

the o2 sensors are located on the exhaust piping, and the harness is what attaches to them.
