Default Header install HELP - Can't disconnect oxygen sensor connectors

I've searched and apparently I'm the only incapable one with this problem. Doing a header install on a 2008 Z06. Only problem is getting to the connectors for the oxygen sensors. Getting to the connectors for the front sensors was a struggle but I finally got them. The connectors for the rear oxygen sensors seems inaccessible. I can see them but can't figure out how to get to them to disconnect. No slack to pull them down. Everyone says how easy the install is and I'm stuck.

Driver's side connector is crammed way up between torque tube and tunnel. Can't see from top.


Passenger side. No clearance I can see to disconnect.


How do I get to them? What am I missing here?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It's driving me nuts. Thanks

Apparently no one else has had issues with this and I finally succeeded getting to the connectors. Just needed to walk away for awhile and look at it fresh.

Yeah seems like each connector has a different way to disconnect it. If I remember right these had double disconnect proceedure. There was a strap that had to be pulled out before you could undo the connector.

Wait till you try hooking the fronts back up once the headers are in. What a pain in the a$$.
