Hey, just wanted to let you know this really helped me. I picked up an O2 sensor removal tool before the job ($10 Amazon) and I wouldn’t have known that without this video. And then also the shipped bolts being too big for the old hole, I was also prepared for that. Thanks for putting the effort into making this!
I have a 2012 Sonic with 237854 miles, and I need to do this. Hoping its as easy as you made it look. My bolts are extremey rusted so I may need to use the ol fire wrench.
It was simple, but not easy. I could’ve put the car up higher, the ramps didn’t give me a lot of height. All that falling rust was very nasty. One good thing is that all of the studs are spline-pressed into the flanges, so you don’t have to give up a hand to holding a bolt head PB Blaster will be your best friend here.

4:45 ah the shower of rust, the sad life of a Canadian car.
What’s saddest is when it all rains down into your eyes
@@416diy that explains why they were twitching during that shot. Excellent video.
You could feel it in the eyes through screen
Damn my flex pipe went out at 130,000 miles.
