Default Oxygen Sensor replacement

I have looked, and not found much. Has anyone replaced the upstream oxygen sensors. I have a P015B code. Its a 2016 Z51 M7. If anyone has, do you have any tips or tricks to assist in replacing one or both of them. I cannot even find an assembly drawing showing where they are located.

Thanks in advance

Richard

Should be located in the downpipes coming off the head, just before and after the cats. Look at items 26, 27 and 31, 32
I would soak them overnite and then get ya a socket that is made for removing them.

You'll need to unplug em from the harness and use a 02 sensor socket.

If it is that stuck, maybe a hot flame? If you are not comfortable with that or unable to do it, get a professional.
