Just to qualify that, a close second is the rear upstream O2 sensor.
Anyway, the how-to will be very helpful & save you lots of heartache if you study it in advance. If you're a shade-tree mechanic, you can do this job. If you're a real novice, you might be better off getting some help AND printing out the how-to. Doing it yourself will save you mucho $ - enough to buy the extensions you'll need & then some. 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
