Upstream O2 sensor replacement
Need a good brand and a how-to without the special socket for it. What other tool could I use to get it done? Been driving for about a week since the code was thrown so I need to do it asap.

It's not a bad job. Just warm up the engine a little bit, then rock it forward. D/C the battery.
Then you just have to unclip the wire and unscrew the sensor. Replace, reconnect the battery, and you're good to go

Why warm up the engine first? It's a tight fit b/w the engine and firewall... don't want it to be toasty.
Is Bosch a decent brand? And how long can I keep driving before it gets bad? I've put about 700 miles since the code first showed up. Couldn't get to an OBD II until today to check it out so I didn't know.

Should be OK for another 50 miles or so, right? I don't actually know how long I can run the car with an old O2 sensor and not damage anything. The sensor won't be here until Wednesday, I'm hoping I can hold out a little bit longer without damaging anything.
