Fitting Decat?

Just bought a decat this morning, couple of questions please,

1. What tool do I need to open the nuts on the cat?
2. Do I need to remove turbo and manifold to get at it?
3. It only has one hole for sensor, which sensor do I fit?

I know question 3 has probably been covered a million times but tried searching and nothing came up.

Cheers guy's.

size 12mm wil do the nuts you only need the lambda sensor the one on the top,you dont need to remove the turbo or manifold maybe take the rad out for some extra room

The nuts look unusual, just thought a normal socket wouldn't fit it, thanks mate

the nuts are size 12 but the proper size is e16 its a weird bit had to get it for my ones as the 12 sheered mine cause they were never taking off before and for the lambda i just use a vice grips to get it off but its a size 22 i think

this happened to me.
i took the cat off at the turbo end then removed the exhaust and took it off as a whole unit. i then used a hammer and chisel and hammered the shit out of the nut along one edge till it broke in half the knock it off and get urself another nut. they are a strange thread tho. m10X1.25 if i can remember rightly. can only get them from toyota. £1. ish

of not bother puttin decat on (which would be gay):haha:
