Just wanna get some quick refrence as how to change one and tools i will need, im sure it easy by looking at the replacement, this is just for reassurance and more confidence, thanks

 

It's Real Easy Bro. You Can Get The Tool Any Where Auto Zone Napa ETC. And It's Less Then $10.

 

what tool is that though?

and is it like unscrew it and unplug and then screw new one and plug it in?

 

-why are you changing it? most can be cleared of carbon buildup and reused. they don't really fail often unless damaged by unusual circumstances.

-what motor? upper or lower? do you have AirCon? if you have AirCon, its a bitch due to the hard lines. if its an XX year old sensor, I recommend getting "Deep Creep" to loosen up the threads, as its safe for O2 sensors. PB Blaster is not.

-the socket is available at any autoparts store. Its a big socket with a cut-out on the side.

 

Piece of cake!

I changed my rear O2 sensor (mounted on the cat) in April, and used a pair of pliers.

The only car where I've needed a socket was my '82 Caddy Gangsta car, but...

That IS the proper tool to use. If you have an Auto Zone near you, you can rent one.

 

-they're $11.00 retail?

 

Heh! And, pliers don't cost anything.

The larger point is, it isn't a difficult job...

 

-hate to quote my own post, but using "pliers" would fall under unusual circumstances. use proper tools people.

 

im thinkin about just cleanin the one i got, i got another one from a buddy of mine for free so i didnt have to pay 200 at honda lol, my motor is d16y8 and its in a 98 ex

 

an 8" adjustable wrench will work, or the proper tool is an o2 sensor socket (kinda obvious) but you want to make sure you get the deep well version
