Mantonite Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I went to Autozone for the universal (Bosch) sensor (~$20). Use the loan-a-tool service for the socket if you need it. I managed with a box-end wrench (after modding the cat a bit to get to it). You will have to re-crimp the connector on the new one, but any standard wire cutter/stripper/crimper tool will work just fine. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Just replaced tha O2 sensor in my wagon a few days ago. 17.99 from autozone for the one wire bosch universal. took less than 10 minutes to install, but access is easier with the WRX exhaust;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azsubaru Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I just did this to my 91 Loyale yesterday. Used the Bosch Universal, 22.99 at the local Autozone and rent/borrowed the install tool from them. Managed to strip the threads and had to run out to Ace hardware for a Helicoil sparkplug thread chaser to fix that. Also, I had to disconnect the Y pipe from the motor and drop it down in order to get the new sensor in - it was longer than the original. That took about 2 minutes and would have been worth doing before taking the old one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
