Downstream sensors are usually inexpensive. $60+shipping is what a planar type universal sensor costs (requires splicing on the old connector). Or $87 with a connector already on there:

This Bosch #13353 looks like a planar type that resists contamination better than traditional thimble sensors:

Shouldn't take more than an hour for the downstream. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for the upstream near the radiator.

FYI, I tried to remove mine on my rust and road salt belt '98 yesterday so I could drop my middle pipe. Nuth'in do'in, that baby was frozen solid after plenty of Deep Creep and heat. I ended up leaving it in and pulling the driver seat out so I could just disconnect it. Otherwise it would be a 30 minute job, so figure an hour of labor in the shop.

stay with brand name DENSO...BOSCH o2 sensor is made for German car... stick with DENSO o2... go rockauto.com order Denso o2...

before you remove 02 sensor, spread BP Blaster on the rust o2 sensor..you wait 20-40 second before you remove. maybe you need big pipe to give more torque to remove...

make sure you buy 7/8 deep socket design for o2 sensor. you can get from autozone or Harbor fleet.. i found long 7/8 socket work better, but Harbor sold 7/8 socket is little short to free space to remove o2. it'll make your job easy because i did replaced my o2 sensor.. you need big pipe to give more torques while remove o2 sensor.
