Bank2, Sensor 1 issue - 2002

[knormal]

Hi All,
I have the bank 2 (drive's side) upstream sensor 1 throwing an error. I was able to get the 02 sensor unscrewed, but cannot reach the connector as it goes up over the transmission. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to resort to cutting/soldering 4 wires upside down and/or reusing old wiring connectors.
Thanks for looking!

In my ‘97, I was able to reach the connector from the top of the engine bay, and reaching down towards the top of the transmission bell housing. It’s a little tight, but it should be accessible.
