Revainrating 5 out of 5

2005 Honda Civic EX worked great, replaced the broken original.

First of all, a great buy from the "Used - Very Good Condition" selection at $64. Identical to the original 2005 Honda Civic EX in wire length, connector wiring, thread length and depth, and bracket bushings. it sits on the thread of the cold sensor for some time. I used a short 1/2" O2 socket, OEMTOOLS 25249 Oxygen Sensor Crowfoot Wrench, also available here at Revain. I used a 1/2" flex head ratchet with a long handle, the longer handle really helped. I kept using more and more pressure and it suddenly "popped" so be careful what you're around and all that. When I installed the new one I started with the sensor by putting a very light brush on the I applied top of the threads and used Permatex 80078 Anti-Seize, just be careful not to overdo it, and not on the sensor itself, just on the top threads. Make sure there are no parts and hot pipes. I wired it up and added a small amount of dielectric grease to each back of the connector to keep moisture out, just an extra step. Pretty easy actually, just remember to use an anti-rust spray and let it sit, and route the new cable carefully, you can do it! Update 04/19/2021: Still works great, no problems.
