Removing the 02 housing

[EclipsingJAX]

Can you remove the stock O2 housing on a 2G, without removing the turbo and O2 assembly from the exhaust manifold? If so, how on earth did you do it, and with what tools?

Best bet is to take the O2 housing and turbine housing off together. Undo the DP, 2 nuts. Then undo the band clamp between the turbine housing and center section. Then just the 4 turbo bolts. Unplug your o2 sensort and pull it out, It might take a little persuasion, but shouldn't be too bad. The when they're out of the car it's pretty easy to separate exhaut housing and and O2 housing. Just go do it.....
