might as well replace the cat too. Just makes sense, if your sensors are going.

Don't touch the head of the new sensors before/during install.

To reset the ECU, you can pull out the brown 7.5 amp fuse in the box under the hood and reconnect it after one minute.

No problem at all, they are tough little units a little extra pollution from the bad Cat won't hurt the rear sensor at all
