while you are reading this, i'll advice you to go and start spraying wd40 on all the bolts you'll need to take off unless you have air tools.

Soak the bolts the night before. The sensor is in the pipe, screws in. Make sure you've got the correct sockets and an extension at the minimum. You might have to use a breaker bar if they are on there good. Did the pipe come with bolts and gaskets?

NO!!!! NOT WD-40! Use a real rust penetrant like PB Blaster or AeroKroil. And do it every night for a few nights before you are planning to do it.

Also, order all new studs and nuts and have a drill, set of left twist bits, easy out and tap and dies set handy.

That's just in case some of the bolts don't give way and break.
