	That should about do it as far as removal. Might want to remove the
grille to get easier access too. As far as cleaning it.. accumulated oil
from the crank vents can coat the inside of the IC, reducing efficiency.
Clean it with something that won't harm the 02 sensor... ie gasoline, carb
cleaner, etc...

	Good luck
