ok i gotcha i was thinking that a socket with a slot in the side would work but i have an induction heater at work that can heat that thing up is no time but im just worried that it might effect the o2 sensor... those things see alot of heat u think it would be fine? and also i need to get a new crush ring for the rear cat but since i took the front manifold off do you think i will need a new gasket or is that 1 fine?

I reused mine because it looked fine and have no leaks but i don't want to be the guy that tells you it's ok and then you got a leak but in my case i may have gotten lucky. Heres a pick of that 02 removal tool if you know a mechanic and can borrow one or buy one if there cheap enough

welp been busy as fawk the past 2 days so the cars just been sitting in the garage untouched but ive been gathering up some needed supplies to finish up the job, the manifold gaskets were only 14 bucks so i went ahead and got them and also a new crush ring for the cat... a tube of gasket maker just incase i feel the need and some lock tight... i guess tomorrow after work im just going to go ahead and take the reast of the exhaust off the car so that i can take it into work and use heat on the stubborn bolts, all in all i should have this thing back on the road by saturday at the latest.. I am enjoying driving around the 3rd gen tho, although slow it hugs corners really well and its loud :P
