Could buy a sleeve for it, i have one on the way for mine, you just screw it in and tie it up, this should stop the light from coming on
If you dont want a sleeve just tie it up out the way, but yes your light will be on!

think the nuts come off easier when the engine is hot as it will expand and be easier to undo
either warm the engine up or use a blow torch, id rather run the engine though

no mate, not if your putting a stainless steel manifold on. if your not and your just taking your cat out then yes unless you bung up the hole where the second lambda sensor comes from
