Default s-pipe installation

hey guys.. before i go install this thing, i wanna make sure i don't break the o2 sensor.. people recommend me to spray it with wd40 at least twice, which i'll do. from under the car, am i gonna be loosening the o2 sensor my way or the opposite? i want this installation to go flawless.. so any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Remove the old spipe and then soak it and remove the sensor. That worked for me.

I did as well, but I didnt soak it in anything so it stripped with all its glory. Had to rethread it with a dremel.

i guess im one of the lucky ones. I didnt spray anything on it and it came out perfectly fine. I stripped the crap out of the one on my header when i changed to a DC header though
