Good luck with it. By the way those slotted O2 sensor sockets sold in the auto parts stores aren't strong enough to remove the old O2 sensor. The O2 sensors are usually VERY hard to get out, seized is common, and the slot allows the socket to spread open and slip off. It's meant only for installing new O2 sensors, the slot is for the wiring so it doesn't get damaged.
Instead use a 7/8" box-end wrench or 1/2" ratchet drive to get the old one out. Getting it good and hot first will make it easier to remove though it gets hot enough in there to burn you so just look out.
