stands on the rack, this will give you proper sensor location in the car.
5)Remove the O2 sensor
with a socket wrench and O2 removal tool extension. Turn the O2 sensor
counterclockwise to remove.
6) Most of the times the O2
sensor comes out very easily but if its bit hard to remove it then you can use
"FREEZE spray" to make it gets loose.
7)The
spray will make it come out easily.
8)When the O2 sensor is
getting removed, some of the wiring's will also come out.
9)Before removing the O2
sensor, take the note of the wiring's and the position of wiring so
while inserting new O2 sensor you don't get confused.

all the wires / parts which you removed while replacing the old O2 sensor.
