I am not sure about the '93 but my '97 has four O2 sensors. One on each manifold, one pre-cat and one aft-cat. I have never changed them but I think it is much like changing a spark plug. I also think there is a special socket needed but I am not positive about that. The hardest one to get at will be the rear manifold.

SeaBass,

Yes, you probably can borrow the special socket from AutoZone.

It looks like a deep-well impact socket, it is black in color, with a 5/8 wide slot cut

into it. The slot is there to allow the use of the socket without damage to the

wires coming from the top of the O2 sensor.

Sometimes the sensors are difficult to remove... I have purposely broken them off on occasion and had to use a box wrench to remove...

good luck!
