3. Remove the HO2S from the exhaust manifold using the J 39194.
IMPORTANT: Remove the HO2S with the engine temperature above 48°C (120°F). Otherwise the HO2S may be difficult to remove.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads, The graphite
tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound
applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have
anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.
1. If reinstalling the old sensor, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.
2. Install the HO2S (1) using the J 39194.
NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice.
Tighten the sensor to 42 N.m (31 lb ft).
