[s-cars] O2 sensor replacement

[Floyd Noel]

Thanks for all the tips! I bought the 13913 sensor at FLAPS a couple  
of days ago. I was wondering about the O2 wrench, so now that I know  
I'll go get one of those. Wouldn't have thought to stagger the  
splices, either, so thanks for that. My wife asked me if I was going  
to get blown up doing this, so let's hope it goes well!
