Did you use an O2 sensor socket plus penetrating oil to loosen it up?

RandyStinchcomb is a user here who sells Ford parts, PM him for the best price.

Also, be sure and use antiseize when you install the new sensor so this does not happen again.

Your check engine light may come on, reset the PCM to clear it.

Bring the Astroglide with you so they do not "do you dry"

Make sure the open hole isn't blowing hot exhaust on any wires or fuel line!!
