Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an upstream O2 sensor on this 1998 Honda Civic with the 1.6 liter 4-cylinder engine. It's the same process on these Civics from 1992 to 2000. The items you'll need for this are a new upstream O2 sensor from 1AAuto.com, a 7/8 inch O2 socket, and depending on the condition of your old O2 sensor, you may also need wire cutters and a regular 7/8 inch socket.
Right here, is your upstream O2 sensor. You want to just pull the wire from that bracket. Then you want to push on this tab, and just pull that harness free. Then, wiggle it off that bracket. Now, using an O2 socket, you want to put that over your upstream O2 sensor. Feed a socket extension down into place, and using a socket wrench, try to just break that free. If it goes, good. If not, you'll have to go to Plan B. Plan B: take some wire cutters, clip the O2 wire. It didn't work, so we're using a regular socket, 7/8 inch deep socket with a large breaker bar. The drawback to the O2 socket is that since it has that split in it for the wire, it will spread apart if your O2 sensor doesn't come out. As you can see, we're able to break it loose with the regular socket. Then you can just pull that out.
On the left, is your old O2 sensor; on the right, is your new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical; they're going to mount exactly the same. Take your new O2 sensor and twist it in by hand. Then put your O2 socket down into place, and the extension, and just tighten that up. Clip your O2 sensor back into that bracket, and slide the clip onto that other bracket. Reconnect your harness, and if it looks like this, you're all set.
