Please post any change in performance or mileage with the new O2s. I've heard of some pretty significant mileage improvements, hope it's true.

Mprohr,
I have also heard of some very noticable improvments after replacing the O2s. Unfortunatly Im returning my Boschs as we speak. I am either going to do the work myself or pay a shop, but being that I have to drop the cats in order to get to the O2s, Im going to replace them with OEM so I dont have any problems since the Boschs are known to cause CELs. Ill keep you guys posted. I have a feeling it would smooth out my engine with 112k on it.

Rengnath,

Sorry I didn't get back to you. I can reach my pre-cat and post-cat O2 sensors with a 3/4" end wrench. The pre-cat sensors are in a little more of a tight spot, but it took me about 3-4 minutes to remove one of them.

I don't know if this changes anything, but I have a 3.7L...

Thanks Donkey,

I forgot that you have the 3.7l .... Im guessing you have a little more space. I couldnt even get a 7/8" wrench up there because the starter was in the way on the drivers side, and then I didnt even bother trying to get to the passanger side one.

Maybe Ill just do headers in spring, and work everything out then. Lol.

Edit: 7/8" wrench. Sorry, the last few days I have been fighting a nasty bug...and I was a little fuzzy.
