since its a cheap part and it can possibly save fuel. i was wonder is it hard to change it? im only getting about 350-400k a tank.
where is it located on the car? if i knew were to look i might be able to analyse it myself

lol that's just a bung plug, fills the hole in your exhaust if you remove it

Try getting a spanner to it while it's hot from the exhaust to loosen, then let it cool down. Otherwise you will need to get some heat directly on it.

Oh and that pic is so wrong...
The O2 sensor needs to be in the air stream of the exhaust, not spaced 1 to 2 inches away!
