With the car off the ground (lift or stands) AND with the RIGHT TOOLS, yes. Spray some PB Blaster on it first before removal. If needed, have some HEAT handy (propane torch).

I say it depends on how old the car is. I couldn't take it off on my 2006 and I had the special tool. Took it to a mechanic and was told that they won't be able to remove it workout breaking it.

You want the o2 socket designed for toyota, the standard long socket won't fit on the mid pipe sensors.



I got mine from Ebay. Also, it makes it way easier when the car is on a lift so you can get a long breaker bar on it.
