I wish I had seen that video before I changed my 02 sensors.

Then I got to the 02 sensors and could not break them loose from the cats (Under the car) so I wanted to disconnect the sensor at the engine bay.

Suggestion

Just use a flat blade screwdriver to pry the red pieces straight UP then the connectors will separate automatically.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last night I started the process to swap my mid pipe, all the bolts were rusted and some bolts were almost non existent with the exception of a small piece of metal fused to the threads. Every single bolt had to be grinded off last night. Then I got to the 02 sensors and could not break them loose from the cats (Under the car) so I wanted to disconnect the sensor at the engine bay. However I am stumped on how you disconnect these little plastic parts?? any pictures/advice. I feel like I have to do something to the red piece

POST 2Original post

The red part slides out sideways. Here's a vid of a Boxster O2 sensor replacement and about 1:18 into the vid the guy shows how the connector lock/unlock works. You Tube

POST 3Original post

POST 5Original post

Dam. I wish I had seen that video before I changed my 02 sensors. For love nor money could I get the connector off so I simply cut the wire and joined them to the new sensors. All is well now.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
