    Unhappy Front Cross Member Bar Removal Consequences

    Howdy to all.
    Beware !
    I removed the front cross member bar to have better access to the removal of the oil pan_ working on the front cover.
    I previously removed the exhaust and intake manifolds.
    Because of the weight of the cats, two things happened:
    _ The Oxygen sensors cables disengaged from the connectors, see pictures below.
    _ Muffler got disengaged from the front side of the system.

    I need your help in connecting things back together, I know I could buy new O2 sensors, which I'll soon. I wold like to learn how to connect these back together.
    I don't have welding tools either.
    Any ideas is better than where I'm..... stock.
    I sincerely appreciate your help and thank you all for your time and knowledge.
    Merry Christmas to all !

    Here are pics of OEM sensors
    The connectors should push back into the shell.
    There will be a little backwards facing tab that stops them coming out ,you will need to bend them out a little before you push them in.

    Looking at the exhaust, there is a good chance a muffler shop could repair that.

    Thanks Ron, any idea for a quick fix, doesn't have to be permanent.

    It looks like the pipe could be plugged back in and rewelded.

    Tie the pipe to the muffler with fencing wire. Old bush remedy.
