OK, so how do you guys remove the bank 2 sensor 1 o2 sensor? There is this large brace in the way, not to mention the exhaust. I have an o2 socket but there's too much play in my socket driver to get any good force, I keep running into the transmission pan. Do I have to remove this frame brace?

BTW, I have searched this site up and down and there seems to be some conflicts regarding which side is bank 1 / bank 2. I have seem it claimed and/or corrected both ways, LOL. Is this because some troopers/rodeos are right hand drive? I think that if you were looking at the engine from the front of the truck, bank 1 is on the left, and bank 2 is on the right. Is this correct?

Bank 1 is the passenger's side... it corresponds to the odd numbered cylinders. Bank 2 is the driver's side.

All I can tell you about removing and installing O2 sensors on a 1996-97 Rodeo is this:
Without a Body Lift, I have *no idea* how I would have done mine -- it was pretty tight work, even then.

I just replaced my bank 2 sensor. and the check engine light did not go away. Do I need to have it cleared or can I just unhook the battery and get the same result.

BTW the body lift did make this easy with the proper tools.

hi had my o2 sensor changed and the light was still on....someone told me it is i button inside dash ...behind the speedo....took off cover and lo and behold there it was pushed it and light was out... i have an 88 trooper II
