Thanks for the comments on the 02 sensor removal, I looked at the sensor 
removal tool and knew it would not do the job after using an open end wrench 
and getting no where, with a box end wrench I have managed to get a few 
turns made toward removing it, guess I will keep plugging away and hope the 
new one goes in easer. After 23 years one should not expect anything to be 
easy on a exhaust system. Will use ante seize for good luck.
