Replacing O2 sensors and can't get to the connectors, Whats the trick?

[rfields109]

I have two new O2 sensors and have tried to unplug the old ones to no avail..... I can get one hand to touch one and the other is just out of reach.
Even if I can get on hand on the connector I don't see me delicately pulling it loose.

What's the trick?

I ended up taking the upper part of the intake off. After that, I could simply reach down from the top of the engine. I also changed the valve cover gaskets and the thermostat while I was there... I figured that I might as well get all of the PITA stuff done at the same time.

I don't know if they moved the connectors on the '94's. On my '92, I've got at the O2 sensor connector by taking of the passenger tire and reaching in through the wheel well.

Yessir great idea since I have it up on stands right now replacing the Calipers and brake lines ..... sounds like a GREAT time to do the O2 sensors as well..

Thanks again Mr Shorty, I'm learnin the tricks to the Exploder as I go and appreciate the help. I'll be paying it forward.
