Preliminary Procedure Remove the right side catalytic converter. Refer to Catalytic Converter Replacement - Right Side (LF3)Catalytic Converter Replacement - Right Side (LGX)Catalytic Converter Replacement - Right Side (LT4) .
1	Oxygen Sensor CAUTION: Refer to Component Fastener Tightening Caution . CAUTION: Refer to Heated Oxygen and Oxygen Sensor Caution . Procedure Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor electrical connector. If re-installing the original sensor, coat the sensor threads with anti-seize. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers . NOTE: A special anti-seize compound is used in the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before reinstallation. Tighten 42 N.m (31 lb ft)
