I think I know what your talking about...you mean where the front 02 cables that are attached to the back of the engine block to keep it out of the way?
it took me a lot of pain and suffering to disconnect it. The easiest way I found was to get underneath the car and if you have noodle arms like me you can reach your arm up through the bottom, grab ahold of the little bracket and give it a few pushes up really hard. It will eventually come loose but keep in mind it rotates a little left/right. Hope this helps

I feel your pain! When I installed my LTH's, had to reach around for the driver's side connection behind the head. Once you understand how it's connected, it's fairly easy to get it disconnected, but because of the angle, it's a bitch the first time. Once I got that one, the passenger side was a lot easier. If I remember right, you have to pull a green "t-pin" that otherwise prevents the retaining clip from being pulled open. Once that is done, you push "out" on the blue clip, and the two separate. I apologize if I have the colors mixed up, but you'll understand once you look at it. There is also a few DIY threads on here that show the connection up close, so you can figure it out looking at that.

I have to disagree with Infantryman above, only because I don't think you want to remove the connection from the head, just separate the O2 sensor harness where it connects there. Removing the connection from the head will give you more room to separate the O2 sensor harness, but you will still have to remove the two anyway. Plus if you break the attachment at the block, you'll have to rig up another way to keep the harness up and away.

Good luck!

maybe I was mis read. I wasn't talking about taking the mounting bracket off the head. I was talking about disconnecting the bracket from the mounting bracket so as to give more room to work with and then reconnecting when install is complete. That's what I did.
