Default SES light on (O2 sensor help)

I got a new exhaust system. It's a MAC catback w/ 3.5 inch pipes, custom y-pipe and a Flow master collector, and a cutout.

I also got my catalytic convertors gutted and now the SES light is on. I got someone to run Autotap for me and the front driver's side O2 sensor is bad.

I went and bought another one and I just need to put it in. Is this a complicated process? And also please give me any tips about putting it in.

Thanks.

It's not hard at all, I would suggest you use an O2 socket and do it when the engine is cool. You also don't want to touch the end of the O2 with or fingers. Good luck.
