I need an oxygen sensor on my 99 ford ranger xlt. Is it hard to get to or is it inside the manifold?

It's a 4 wheel drive, 4.0 litre, 6 cylinder. If it's easy to change I'll do it myself. If not, I'll take it to a mechanic.

It depends on which one one. There are FOUR. The only tool you need, is either an O2 sensor socket, or an open end 7/8%26quot; or 22mm size wrench. Hope this helps.

Well, Rakel is right (like always) but why are you changing the 02 sensor? If it due to an autozone diag, just go throw the money in the street. There are many, many things that can cause a 02 to read wrong, and until it is diagnosed correctly, you might just be wasting $80.00 at a time till you get the correct one replaced, not to mention the skin that will have to grow back. And I would recommend to do it on a cool engine, the pipes can be very unforgiving.

Hope it helps....
pretty much agree with the other two except I own a 2 foot long screw driver so I can depress the o2 sensor locks on the connector if it's ones buried in there... most I use a 7/8 inch wrench with no problems to remove
Take it to a mechanic,4.0 lt engines are not easy to work on,been ther done that.Good luck
