I have to replace all four O2 sensors (two stuck rich) so thought I would do all four whilst I'm under the car.

How easy is it to perform this task?

Cheers!

Very easy if you're ok getting the car in the air. Drench them in penetrating oil

But get a suitable split socket to make it very very easy

What size split socket do you need to remove the sensor?

I think I just used an open ended spanner (I didn't have the lamda socket) but I do recall it was tight with the original cats. Watch redpants.lol video on changing to a 200 cell cat and he shows it there
