Youare talkingabout where the headers connect to the midpipe right?
Use a swivel socket and a long extention to reach it or just pull the o2 sensor out.
If they didnt come with new bolts you could re-use the old ones or go to a parts store and try to find matching ones.

LOL noob.. you need a O2 sensor socket and a long breaker bar... go visit your local Advance Autoparts or Autozone, and get some REAL tools

Make sure your not trying to unscrew the "bung", it is most likely welded into the pipes, if your pipes are rusted you may not see the welds, that is were the o2 sensor screws into the hole cut into the pipes. Bung, not bong K guy [8D]

Hey, I take my O2 sensors fof with a standard open ended wrench. Takes a little more effort, but I can usually replace both sensors in under 5 minutes.
