They also make O2 sensor sockets that are split up one side to allow for the wire to pass out. since yours is already loose it should come out fine, mine was so sutuck I spun the O2 socket around it. Eventually I used a box wrench and broke the fella off. This preceeded a removal of the cross-over pipe (which I had to hacksaw through) to get the O2 sensor threads removed. Fun. Incidentally, if your crossover flex portion is going bad, you can get it replaced fairly cheaply and the new flex pipes are much better than the old.
