Removing O2 sensor....RE: [s-cars] Re: hesitation when cold

[Martin, Gary G]

You may need a special O2 sensor socket, mit slot down the side to allow for
the wires. Somebody's hot tip, to put a hose clamp on it, to get a nice
tight fit on the sensor. When I did mine, I couldn't budge it with a cold
engine. A short drive to warm things up, and it came out easily. HTH

The O2 sensor is an easy job -- unplug the connector, put a wrench on it and
remove. The sensor is easy to locate -- sticking out of the exhaust down
pipe with three wires. Assembly -- well, you can figure that part out.
Hardest part is reaching the little sucker, but that's well within the
capabilities of a tool-using, upright bipedal primate. Do this job with a
cold motor.

You should be able to pick up the oem Bosch sensor from Blau. Some use a
generic sensor, which requires chopping and splicing wires. IMHO, not worth
it to save a buck or two.
