Default Replacing 2 precat Oxygen Sensors 1995

Should I expect this to take me a long time, or is it straight forward ?

Thanks for your info.

I just changed mine on my 95 two weeks ago. The drivers side is best done from under the car the passenger side was done from outside the engine bay standing up until it was time to finish the last few threads and to reinstall. I used a crow foot socket made for doing these, makes things so much easier. I used extensions on my 3/8 drive ratchet to reach down and access the passenger sensor, I had enough extensions on it that my wrench was over the top of the valve cover. Don't forget to undo the connector before you start on them, if you don't it'll get twisted up and all in the way of progress. Take your time and it shouldn't take more than an hour to do.
Good luck

I did mine both from the bottom pass side was a bit harder. Go to orielys and get their o2 socket set for free use the short one. $20 deposit or $25 to buy.

Thanks for all the info.
O2 tool needed. On pass side I went in from the top to break the O2 sensor loose,
went under to remove by hand . Small hands would have helped, Driver side
from underside. Best info. is take your time.
