Default are the front+rear o2 sens the inerchangebol?

well threw a po155 code, and dumb *** at store said it was the pass rear, but on other post people told me it was the front one.

and i bought the one for the rear not the front.

well tryed for almost a hour to get rear off and it would not budge. is there a trick, or does car need to be at op temp ??

but that front one looks hard to get at

you can put the rear up front. they are the same just different length wires i believe. Oh and try some PB blaster or something similar to break the rust.

no kidding it is, spraying down rusted bolts, letting it soak a bit, then hitting it with the propane torch does wonders at breaking them free

But don't do that to the sensor, you could burn up more than just rust Let the exhaust cool, spray it down with PB blaster real good, give it a few taps with a hammer (not too hard, dont' want to break anything), then let it sit for a little while. Come back later, spray a little more then try and remove it.

I thought someone told me the connectors were different? I wouldn't know -- I have long tubes and no rears.

Either way, if it's the front one, change it. If it's in the rear and you can't get it out, just leave it in.

That's the way to do it. LT's or bust
