o2 housing install?
i have all the bolts off the o2 housing but the o2 sensor is still on and wont come off. Do i have to buy a new o2 sensor and cut the wires running to the o2 sensor? how do i do this thanks

Go to Autozone and get the o2 sensor removal tool. You can rent them there and they will not charge you. I just used one for my exhaust install a couple weeks ago. Works like a charm!

you can buy one for like 80 bux from napa.. so you can def go ahead and cut it.. but its best if you get the wrench and get some on the penetrator for rusty, tight bolts.. 
it will come off.. also you have to brace the housing somehow to get better leverage..
