Anything I need to know about installing new O2's?
 
Also, I want to replace the front O2's only. When I called a dealer, they said there are a total of three sensors. Is that right?

There are two fronts and two backs. Or 2 before and 2 after the cats. Just unhook the wires and change them. Maybe put a little anti seize on the threads for next time.

I've heard horror stories of people ruining their new sensors by using hi-temp silicon on the threads when they insalled them. you might want to shy away from that stuff on your O2's.

Don't drop 'em or even let the ends come in contact with anything. Amazing how finicky those things can be.
