RE: o2 sensor???
Did you save my PM's about this? If not, here goes:
Yes, very easy to change if you have the right tools. Get yourself a "short and narrow" 3/4" wrench, or an O2 sensor socket... it's just a 3/4" deep-well socket with a groove in the side of it to accomodate the wires.
If you use the socket (can rent one from your local parts store probably) then you don't have to remove the heat shield from the manifold... if you use the wrench, you may have to remove the shield... I didn't, but I got lucky...
Make sure the anti-sieze that should already be on the threads of the new sensor does NOT get onto the actual sensor body... if it gets in there, it will mess up your readings after install.
The rest should be self-explanatory.
I paid $24.95 for the direct Bosch replacement. Universals can go as high as $78... but you have to usually cut the wiring harness if you use them. Just find a direct-fit one and save the hassle.
