I just had the pleasure of changing the rear upper O2.

I just did that too before my long trip back east. Its not bad, but I have big hands and it wasnt easy either.

bwahahahahaha




suck it trebec!

Cut the connector off the old o2 and use a deep socket w/ swivel joint and a small-medium extenstion and it comes out quick and easy. Put some anti-seize on ze new vone and eet goez riiiight in finger tight and finish up with a stubby wrench.

As my russian friend Peter would say, "Iz no beeg deal!"

The new one is in. I used my O2 socket and a big wrench to remove the old one from the bottom. My arm is small enough to fit between the intermediate shaft, subframe and exhaust.

Though the whole process would probably be easier if its roll resistors were good. Id have that much more room.
