Great Video Howard. Very informative and easy to follow. O2 Sensors on anything are a pain. One suggestion, instead of WD40, use a Penetrating oil, they are thinner and get into the threads easier than WD40. WD40 is not a penetrating oil (I always thought it was the same for the longest time.) so it may go easier to remove with an actual penetrating oil. I have to replace mine soon.
Good job, but the front bank downstream sensor can be also quite easily replaced from under the car. As for the back bank down stream sensor, it is also possible to replace it easily, but you will need two extensions and two joints in addition to a special socket shown in this video.
Nice one dood I have to replace this sucka on my ride - great video man RESPECT!! In the UK we have a penetrating oil called 'PLUS GAS' it is THE BEST for removing rusted in stuff. I dont know if you have it over there from Pep Boys or your local auto store??
hi howard, why did it take 3 hrs to remove it? someone is selling me an xtype 2002 that has the upstream o2 sensor failing. whats the cost to replace? your best guess, thank you!
JR, I did the job myself. That is why it took me 3 hours. My O2 Sensor was very rusty, so I had to play around with it a little. You should be fine. As far as, cost that is something I did not know.
Me ontenz try clearing the code and then drive around for about 150 miles or so and see if it comes back. if the code omes back than its probably other codes.
