O2 sensor
Ok I have done a search and cant find anything about this topic. Recently my 02 sensor went bad (secondary) and then i was hearing a rattle, took it to the muffler shop they said that it was my cat. So cat broke inside in turn broke my 02 sensor. I am going to pick a cat off a totaled S at a junkyard today. Is there a special tool i need to remove and put a 02 sensor in the cat? Because i want to get it done today and I want to be prepared. If i do need a tool where do i buy one?

I think they make O2 sensor wrenches, but to tell you the truth a large "Crescent" wrench is all you need. Give it a good SNAP to get it loose. Use a bit of anti-seize on the threads before putting it into the cat.

any tool will remove the 02 sensor.
goto autozone to buy a sensor there are 2 types, generic and an oem replacement. they are all the same so the dif between a oem and generic o2 sensor is the connector on the eom replacement will match the car.
with the generic you get a kit to crimp the old connector onto the new generic sensor. the o2 wires are stainless steel and you generally cant solder them.
