Default O2 Sensors

Gordie,
Not so tough. I changed out the originals on an 03 4x4 in 2010. Just soak the threads with some type of thin lubricant for a day if you can. Use a suitable O2 socket and remove and install. You don't need a lift if it is 4 wheel drive, but might help to put up on jack stands.

3/4 wrench works also. Just disconnect them, unscrew them and replace them. Not hard at all.

I did this last week. The sensor after the cat was a breeze, the sensor before the cat was a bear; both were soaked with PB blaster. I did not have an 02 sensor socket as was recommended above. I suspect this would have made the job easier as there was little room to turn a wrench.
