Installing
Installation is performed in reverse order of removal. Note the following
Note. The threads of the new oxygen sensors are already coated with assembly paste. The paste must not get into the slots on the sensor body. If reinstalling the old oxygen sensors, coat the threads with high-temperature paste. The paste must not get into the slots on the sensor body. When installing, the oxygen sensor wire must always be reattached at the same locations to prevent the wire from coming into contact with the exhaust pipe. Secure the heat insulations sleeves in the original position when installing
