this procedure is explained in the removing oil pan procedure. I have taken the applicable parts from that procedure.
(1.) disconnect battery. negative cable first and then positive cable. you need to disconnect the positive to give cable slack to remove starter. (2.) trace positive towards the starter and about a foot down there is a cable stay holding cable against block. remove that nut to free it up. (3.) remove starter and position out of the way. (4.) disconect all 4 O2 sensors. there are 2 on each manifold, 1 on top front and rear, 1 on bottom of Y pipe front and rear. (5.) remove the 2 nuts (14 mm I think) attaching Y pipe to rest of exhaust at rear of oil pan. The one nearest passenger tire is the one with least amount of room for a rachet head. if possible disconnect the intermediate pipe from Y pipe at this time. (6.) slightly loosen the 2 manifold to Y pipe nute (14 or 15 mm) on FRONT of engine. do not remove yet, just create a little slack. (7.) remove the 2 manifold to Y pipe bolts (13 mm I think) at REAR of engine. there should be a little give due to loosening the front ones. you might need to remove pcv hose for ease. these can be reached from top but it is tight, I was not able to get at from bottom without a lift, not sure if a lift would make it possible. (8.) now remove front nuts completely (carefully) and drop Y pipe.
AnswerDid you answer the oil pan removal with this same answer, I just read that one because I have to take the oil pan out of a 2000 3.0v6 flex fuel(ffv) Taurus. Do you know if that would be the same procedure as this? AnswerMan doing this job now, it seems impossible!!! im stuck on removing the y pipe??? how in the heck do you do it?? the directions donw explain that wll, i know theres 2 bolts holding the back part of the muffler there but after that i don't know what other bolts to remove in order to get that pipe off. theres just 2 other bolts that are up front but removing those doesnt seel like itl be any better. if I could only get that peice of pipe off then i could get the whole oil pan off. its just stuck there bc of that y pipe what a pain1!!

They will be in you (y) pipe just inches from where they bolt to exhaust manifolds.I have a 95 3.8 liter it has 2 sensors,1 on the front and 1 on the back.Think yours will be the same,if you only have 1 it will be downstream from where the (y) pipes meet.
