I'm gonna have some time off in the next few days, and as it turns out I need to replace a faulty O2 sensor. I was just wondering If I could do it myself.

Judging by the few pictures I have seen, replacing an O2 sensor doesn't look too difficult (correct me if i'm wrong), although I have no idea how the actual process goes and the pictures I've seen are for other cars.

Has anybody from here ever tried to replace an O2 sensor by themselves?

Anybody got any detailed pictures or know where to find any in terms of a 1997 Jetta Trek?

Replacing an O2 sensor is extremely easy, provided, you have an O2 socket, which most people don't, usually a large wrench, depending on it's location can do the job, as long as you soak the base with any strong penetrating fluid, allow it to sit for a while. I'm not sure where it's positioned on your application but you may have some difficulty breaking it loose, thats the hardest part.
