Default how do i remove the o2 sensor from the cat?

sorry guys, I'm a little confused. do i get a large wrench and undo the hex bolt on the o2, or do i just pull it apart? please help me cuz i'm installing a header and I need to remove the cat, but i can't figure out how to remove the o2 and i don't want to break it. thanks again

Just wrench it off. Unsrews, be careful of all the wires getting too twisted.

pull the wires/plug/grommet down and disconnect the plug first, then you don't have to worry about the wiring

it's behind the green grommet, pull the grommet down and the plug will follow.

thanks guys, I pulled down the rubber thing and there was the plug. got the sucka out in a jiffy thanks to you guys. There was one minor problem though. As I was fiddling with the plug, the cat hit me in the face, and now I've got a fat lip, but the install was worth it

The O2 Sensor on the cat is a bitch to get off. I used a money wrench and a hammer.
