please clean up the post a tad, your on the right track. you may have to heat it up. that is if your not going to reuse it. i used a 6 sided socket after i busted the end off tring to get it lose.

another reason to go long tubes. It's so much easier to replace O2's

yeah if your gonna do headers might as well go pro, with long tubes, not mid or short, price shouldn't be that much of a difference

O2 sensors can be a ***** to get out, even when access is easy. Two tools I rely on for the tough ones are 6-point sockets and long double box wrenches. If the sensor is definitely being replaced I usually knock the ceramic part off to makes things easier.
BTW, your drawing *is* funny as hell. (But why is hell funny???)
