Just unscrew the tube from the bracket, clean it( or put a new tube on), screw it back on.

The other of the tube screws into the front side of the passenger exhaust manifold.. sometimes this fitting is rusted.. you might want to spray some FreeAll or penetrating oil here a couple of hours before you remove the tube. It just pressure from the exhaust the sensor is measuring.. no oil involved..

no not the tube...the actual bracket. the one that the sensor and the tube attach to. there are 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the hpop resivour. the tube is off and the sensor is out...just want to clean the hole in the bracket for the sensor and tube to flow freely...any ideas on this?

You really don't have to remove the bracket to clean it.. I would not think the bolts would go into the oil reservior..
