Things you will need for this installation;
- MIL Eliminator (see how-to section or Apex Motorsports)
- large adjustable crescent wrench
- 10mm, 12mm and 14mm sockets
- breaker bar, small length of pipe, etc for more leverage on tight bolts
- a jack and two jackstands
Before jacking up the car, there are some things you can do with the car on the ground that will be alot easier to do than if the car was in the air. Let's begin!
1.) Open the hood, and if you have not already done so, remove the "air box" that sits just behind the grill. This can be done by undoing the two nuts as well as a small clip that connects it to a hose at the filter box.
When you are done with this step it should appear as so:
2.) Unclip the ring that secures both sets of O2 sensor wires
3.) Unplug the first O2 sensor (the one before the first cat) from the harness. You may need to really work with this clip before it unplugs
4.) Unbolt the exhaust manifold heat shield from the manifold itself and remove the heat shield.
5.) Admire your ugly brown manifold. Unscrew the O2 sensor from the exhaust manifold. DO NOT be insanely rough on removing this sensor. They are very sensitive and do not take well to abuse. Set the sensor aside for later use.
