I read through that e-how article twice, and yes, it sure looks like Johnathan forgot the step where you connect the sensor back to the harness.

Easy to do too, when you write for a medium that's mostly advertising and not seriously subject to peer review. That's one reason we like the BB.

I see in your last reply to Trev's suggestion, you are not really interested in the details but just looking for the easiest way to get from A to B. In that case you are right. Just buy the $12 universal and be done with it. I use impact to remove the sensor from the head pipe or the cat. I use a stubby 22 combination wrench and a 3-lb hammer. That's my advice.

On second thought, if it runs great and passes emissions, why test it? Wait until it stops doing that, unless you're thinking the sensor will become one with the pipe or cat in that period of time. Or just test the system responds to it, like you're supposed to, closed loop.
