Anyone good with Fords/have Ford specific tools?
I need the first o2 sensor changed in my 96' explorer(it has 3 o2's, not 4), and it requires a special tool and probably a lift to get it done. Have the part. Looking for someone who wont charge me more then 30 bucks to do it(I've been quoted 50 from a place that is known to price hike labor charges).

No lift or special tools necessary. Grab some PB Blaster to loosen the sensor before attempting to remove as it will be very tight.
Here's some pics of how to remove it from the topside on a 1996 Ford Explorer through the access panel above the transmission.

Nor did I.
But it looks like taking the carpet back and pulling that panel is more of a bitch than popping it out with a wrench.
Good find
