Trick to getting oxygen sensors out

After fighting with the clips that hold the wire for the oxygen sensors for a while, I figured out a nice trick. Just use a razor blade along the back side of the clips. Apply just a little bit of pressure with the razor and it will slice right through the plastic. After I figured this out, I got all 4 clips off in about 2 minutes. Hopefully, this will save somebody some time.

Pix? I don't see how hard it is to get them out. It's quite simple.

That isn't to your A33B.. .. Hmm, I wonder if those bad boys can be retrofitted to said A33B w/ headers, so no extending needs to be done.

Probably wont be worth it And I thought I had an idea
