replacing the o2 sensors im planning on doing this sometime this week when i find the time. ive never had to replace them on any car ive owned up until now.
this is probably a dumb question but is there anything i need to know before diving into replacing them? any suggestions to make things go smooth?
thanx

If you were running longtubes it would be really simple because they are easier to get to, if your stock exhaust manifolds they can be a PIA 
just because they are hard to get to on the drivers side...I could be wrong been a long time since I had stock manifolds and never changed the 02s on the stockers, but they were located in a couple tight locations.

If you have a stock exhaust and a single cat its not hard, but if you have the dual cats then its tricky on the driver side, my advice to you is to get a O2 sensor socket from an auto store and it will be quicker and you have less change of damaging the pigtails. you could use a cresent wrench like they said above, but there just isnt enough clearance on the driver side. Good luck, its not that hard to do. Oh yea make sure to put some dielectric grease in the plug and on the water seal on the pigtail.
