What car for a start and what engine?
On the LFW/LFX it's a bit of a pain as I have really big 4xl glove size hands but I manage.
On the LLT it's a **** show getting them undone and done up
Never tried on a V8 but most of them should be doable from up top or underneath you just have to get your fingers close.

Not easy. Can't remember which way I did it but only 1 way would work for me. I think I connected it first before screwing it in, that way there's more slack in the cable and I think I did it through the engine bay.
Or are you talking about the post cat sensor beside the transmission?

Ah yes I know the one now. I had to rig up some funky piece of string or fishing line to reconnect the plug. Probably used pliers to squeeze the tabs in to disconnect it. 10 years ago, I'm just glad I only had to do it once
