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.

is it safe to drive with no o2 sensor in 1 of the holes ( its 1 of the 2 near the rear of the car)

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!!
