There is no need to lower the pipe, it is tight, but you can get it with an O2 sensor removal tool.

On the other hand......Once I got them out, I had to put them back in, because I have no idea where the plug is. I have searched and cant find any info - this makes me think I am being an idiot and overlooking something simple......

Anyone know where the rear O2 sensor plugs in and how you get to it?

Thanks in advance....
