hey have a question for you guys i have a 97 honda accord wagon and i need to replace the sensor on the cat. i had the cat recently replaced but the guy at the muffler shop couldnt unplug the sensor..he said that a bracket was keeping the sensor from coming off and from what he said there wasnt away to take it off unless cutting the braket..i feel there has to be another way..so if you guys kno anything about this or had the same trouble any help will be appreciated..thanks

 

Soak the connector in penetrating fluid. When you remove the connector from the bracket you will probably have to wiggle the hell out of it to get it to come off. There are special tools made, like reverse pliers that spread things apart that I've used lots of times in this situation.

If push comes to shove, cars never win. Cut the bracket.
