Info or pic's on Gas Exhaust Sensor Replacement

Just got my new Sensors. Is there any details on replacing them? Service Manual is vague. I can see them and will need to do some digging. Just wondering if there is any special sealant for the threads etc.

Thanks in advance!

Use never-seize on them, or any other exhaust type anti-sieze compound, it'll help when you remove them next time..

The passenger side is not bad, the drivers side is tough, and it'll be tight.. Get an 02 sensor wrench from your favorite parts store with some extensions and an extra set of nuts so you don't blow yours up getting these out..

Soak them with some sort if penetrating lube like p2b or something it'll help some.. I reached the drivers side from underneath the car, it seemed easier than going from the top as tt.net suggested.

Just picked up the O2 Sensor wrench. Snap-on is insane with the pricing for something i will only use very rarely. $18.00 for another brand ( about $10 usd) i will get the extension and exhaust high temp thread sealent. Hope the original's aren't torque'd to much. My chiropractor is going to have a hay day on this one..I'll drive it up on the stands for the driver side and take a peek.

Thanks a bunch!
