Scares the crap out of me to crank it, how old was yours? Mine is orig and 15 years old.

By the way I crank to the left, so it is in front of me I go left towards the passenger side?

Thanks, just I always get this bad feeling the I will F something up.

But hell, I was checking my dizzy bolts to see how tight the Honda mechanic made them and man they were tight as hell, so I am not trusting people working on the car.

I have a Bosch O2 sensor on my `95 and I have no issues. I had to replace my original since it was on there for nearly 16 years lol. But, I got my sensor from rockauto.com, $34 plus like $5 for shipping.

Ok, did the O2, by the way get denso if you, can perfect fit and even the plug slipped into the holding clip like factory.

Glad you got it worked out. It just broke loose with force? BTW, Bosch also works great, perfect fit. I have one. Bosch or Denso are both good bets to not pay over $300 at the stealership.

Last week I used some PB Blaster, but had this crap little socket wrench that it would not budge, I got a breaker bar and it came out like too easily, I guess the PB Blaster did it's work as well. The hardest part was to figure out how to unclip the plug lol.
