You unplug one end and unscrew the other end. Autozone/Checker will loan you a special tool to remove it, but I always use a standard box end wrench.
I have had a 94/00/02 Maxima in our household. I have changed 3 oxygen sensors and 1 time it did not fix the problem. Sometimes they unscrew easily, sometimes they don't (try it cold first - working on hot cars is not fun).
The toughest part of the last change was running the cable down between the engine block and getting holders to clip into place (I suggest you get a Nissan sensor and not the universal if you want it done right - check online because the local dealer will charge 20% more unless you are good haggler - or have an easy sales guy).
The sensors are usually labeled blue/white/black based on the cable color.
90% of the time its not the o2 sensor thats bad,they hardly ever go out, its something else making it come up on the codes, save yourself some money dont change it , if you insist on changing it , start the car let it come to full operating temp , the o2 will loosen right up BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET BURNED!

My 2000 maxima only has heat at idle once you start moving it starts to blow cold air. The temp gauge also goes below cold when moving but will rise to normal temp at idle.

I am having problems finding the idle air control valve in my 2000 nissan maxima. Can't find it in the throttle body. Where is it? Is it part of the throttle control?
