Unplug them first.

The rear sensor plugs in underneath the oil talk. The front sensor plugs in at the black plastic thing (the name of this part escapes me at the moment) on the front of the frame.

Remove the pipes. Once the pipes are off use a long wrench. Mine came off easily.

Install sensors in new pipes, reinstall pipes, plug back in.
