Question
how to replace a o2 sensor o.e. type on 96 nissan maxima

Answer
Tyrone,

Get an oxyggen sensor socket at the store and jack up the vehicle to get to the one you need to replace.  It is like a sparkplug with a few wires coming out from it.  Best to buy the one for your vehicle as the generic ones usually require soldering of the wires.  Be sure you are replacing the correct sensor as there are several for your car.  If you go to Autozone or Checker they will read the codes for free and tell you which one it is.  Plus, after you are done they will check and clear the code.
