Advice and questions on bad O2 sensor
So I am a total newbie when it comes to my camaro. But the check engine light came on a while back and I got a friend to get the codes off it for me.
Now if I am reading them correctly most of them seem like they might be related.
My car is a 1998 Z28 Camaro.
The DTC codes are:
P0131 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0135 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Heater Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0137 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2
P0151 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0157 - Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S) Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2
P0300 - Engine Missfire Detected
P0430 - TWC System Low efficiency Bank 2 (Catalytic Threashold)
The car has 76K miles on it.
But my question is, how difficult is it to replace the sensors and aside from the Missfire, which I would assume is a tuneup problem, would replacing the O2 sensor(s) fix most/all of these problems?
Thanks for any input on this.

Thanks for the reply, I also talked to the dealership and they told me it is unlikely that all 4 sensors would fail at once, So I think I am going to pay the 89$ to have them put it on their diagnostic machine.
