I just had a code thrown after a day at the track and it comes up as the P1132 bank 1 sensor 1. Now one guy told me that bank one was the drivers side. Ive aslo read that that is the passengers side O2 sensor.

Which is it?

Also, im gonna try and do this in O'riely's parking lot. What should i tell them i need? A floor jack, 7/8 wrench (what my shop guy told me), and just the new O2 sensor?

Also should i replace both at the same time just to keep them "balanced"? Both rears are disabled because of my O/R h.

Thanks boys!

P.S i posted this thread in the tech section as well but figured id post it here as well just because of the higher traffic of members.

I searched that code and it sounds like it's the driver side.

I don't remember what the size wrench is for the O2 sensor but I don't think it's 7/8, but I could be wrong. I thought it was bigger.

Also, why are you going to do this is their parking lot?

I don't have a jack here...or wrenches lol. So i really can't do it anywhere else.

With all the work you're doing on your car I think it would save you a lot of money to buy a tool set and do the work yourself.

I am doin it myself lol. Im gonna try and borrow a jack and wrench and just do it in their parking lot lol.

EDIT: Am i gonna run into any problems being that my car has LTs??

No. The O2 sensor is by the collectors. If anything it might be hard to get a wrench on it.

Yea i mean ive seen vids of ppl just gettin em off with wrenches. And my mechanic said that's all i would need. So i mean if O'rileys won't let me do it then idk what im gonna do.

I have never heard of an auto parts store lending out a jack and wrenches for free.

Well, um i guess one pointer would be *ptr

</nerd humor>

I got nothing, I've not changed an 02 sensor with a wrench, but I can't imagine they won't let you do it in their parking lot. I've seen people change their oil in the parts store parking lot.

Ok well imma call them and see if they will before i drive down there lol. But it seems pretty simple to me...idk we'll se how it works out lol.
