Default how to remove exhaust sensor?

i'm trying to get my pipes wrapped, but i seem to have run into a little problem. i am able to get the pipe completely off, but there is a sensor or something towards the top of the exhaust header. i tried to unsrcrew it, but it seemed like it didn't want to budge. does it screw out? the harley shop said they would charge 150+ to do this job. help!

It's the oxygen sensor, it just takes a big wrench to take it out. It does require some AntiSieze on the threads when you reinstall it.

you could also just leave them in and unplug the harness. follow the wires until you get to the harness and unplug it.
