    Need to Replace O2 Sensor - Bank 2 Series 2. for a 2003 525i

    Is this an easy DIY job? I borrowed an O2 Sensor socket, but it looks like I tight fit. I could not find an detailed post or instruction. I'm going to work on it this weekend and would appreciate any suggestions.

    Thanks.

    Easy job. Even the front ones aren't bad, but the rears are easy. IIRC I used a 7/8 combo end wrench, not a socket.

    I will start WD this afternoon. I may pick up a 22m open-end wrench just to be on the safe side

    Thanks

    Update: I replaced the O2 Sensor for Bank 2 Sensor 2 with Bosch replacement. The code cleared the engine ran smooth, but 25 miles later the code is back saying Bank 2 Sensor 2.

    I'm going to recheck the install wiring, etc. but any thoughts if something else is triggering the code Thanks
