Default new exhaust

I am going to get the vance & hines 2 into 1 exhaust. Are there any special tools needed ? Are the o/2 sensors hard to remove ?. I have a 08 rocker

Thanks

Easy money. Unplug the sensors and remove with the old pipes & put them on new pipes before installing. Use a very light coat of anti-seeze on sensors treads. Follow the aligning and tightening sequence

They are pretty easy to install. I did mine by myself. They can be a bit awkward to hold up and get bolts started without someone else helping so if you do it yourself you'll want a couple of boxes or something for support. The only "special tools" I needed and didn't have were a wobbly socket end and long extension. Oh, and also a long shafted torx for moving the right side passenger peg.
