Once you've made sure you have the correct parts, replacing Os sensors is pretty straight forward....however: getting the old ones out is easy for some and for others (like me) not so much...

Search and you will have plenty of ideas...

I highly recommend NTK sensors (OEM brand on your 2000)

Never, ever use generic or off brand "el-cheapo" oxygen sensors. These sensors are very important to proper engine management.

My parts store told me they are getting away from using Bosch sensors and have gone to NTK.

I just replaced all 4 on my '06 Grand with NTK. I've only had the Grand for about 6 weeks now.

I still get the check engine light, however. My mechanic is of the opinion that the PO let the O2 sensor replacement go too long and they got the converter.

UPDATE: I'm going next week to have the bank 1 converter replaced with a premium one designed for ethanol-containing fuels, to hopefully keep the light off.

In addition to what's in that thread above, avoid the generic sensors from the local parts store that require you to cut and splice wires. Get the OEM sensors with the stock connectors instead. Rock Auto has good prices on them.

See post #4.

Although I've got 2 Boschs in my '98 Expedition. I was told at the time they were equivalent to the OEM Ford ones. No problems with those yet.
