How hard to replace 02 sensor on 95

[quadcammer]

I need a new 02 sensor for the 95. How hard is this to do? anything special I need to know about it?

the stealership wants 290 to do this. I can get an 02 sensor for 85 bux.

easy or not?

It's pretty easy, all you need is a 22mm or 7/8" flarenut wrench and possibly some penatrating oil/spray to grease the skids.

on my last car, i used a wrench, and sledge-hammer. otherwise, simple diy.

And be ready to donate some knuckle skin if you're not careful.

Otherwise a 15 min task.

I used a friggen crescent wrench.. A little bit of a beeesh because the size of the wrench. If I had the right tool, it would have taken 5 minutes.

If you can rent the o2 sensor tool from AutoZone, by all means please do so. It is so much easier with it. Here's a tip, when you're screwing on the new sensor into the pipe, make sure you follow the wires closely. The wires will tend to twist and by the time you screw it all the way, one or more wires would be stripped.

I tried, but wasn't able to use an o2 sensor socket - not enough clearance on top.
