Find the oxygen sensor or sensors you need to replace. The upstream sensor is located near the exhaust manifold and the downstream sensor on the back exhaust pipe, close to the catalytic converter.
3
Disconnect the oxygen sensor electrical connector. Depending on your particular Chevy model, both sensors may be disconnected from the engine compartment.
4
Lift the front of your Chevy model to reach the sensor you need to change, if necessary. Use a floor jack and two jack stands to support it.

Remove the oxygen sensor using a box-end wrench or a ratchet and oxygen-sensor socket.

How to Unlock a GM Radio

Step 2: Press and hold preset buttons 1 and 4 for ten seconds. (If you don't have a fourth preset button, press and hold presets 2 and 3.) The radio will display a three digit number. Write this number down.
Step 3: Press the AM/FM button. Your radio will display a second three digit code. Write the second code down. You will now have a six digit code.
Step 4: Contact your local GM Dealer and give them the six digit code. They will give you a four digit radio code.
Many dealers will give you your radio code for free, while others may charge a small fee. If your dealer is charging a larger fee, consider calling another dealer or doing a Google search for sites offering GMC Radio codes. They usually charge a small (around $10) fee.
Step 5: Start your vehicle and turn on the radio. Press the Hour button on the radio until the first two number of the code appear. Next, press the Minute button until the last two numbers of the code are displayed. Once all four digits appear, press the AM/FM button to unlock your stereo. The display will read "SEC" indicating you have successfully unlocked your radio and it is fully operational.
If radio display reads "INOP" while the vehicle is on, too many incorrect radio codes have been entered. To remove "INOP" from your display and unlock your radio, you must leave the key in the On position for one hour. Once you've retrieved your radio unlock code, write it down for future use. Your radio code will not change and having it handy will save from going from the radio code retrieval process again.
