Hi Doug - yes they are a a bit of pita to reconnect...
I'm assuming you are talking about the O2 sensor electrical connection on the mid pipes. We don't have O2 sensors on the headers in Oz, so I can't comment on those.
But on the mid pipes there is a red coloured retaining clip which needs to be pulled right back before the male electrical plug will sit in the female section. If this clip is only slightly protruding in the plug entrance, you will not be able to push the male section in.
Ask me how I know.....
