Question O2 sensor

[toyofsomd]

Ok so I can’t find the answer that I am looking for so maybe someone on here can help me. My check engine light came on with the code of the bank 1 sensor 1 my O2 sensor. So my question is does anyone know if there are an O2 sensor that would fit my (truck a 2000 Tundra 4.7 V-8) cus at my local auto part store it says its 130 bucks ,so is there any other vehicles that would have the same O2 sensor that might be cheaper?

Thanks in advance

I've bought mine on amazon.com. I think the company
was quickshipautoparts.com or something like that.
Don't buy some cheap aftermarket brand. Look for the
Denso sensors. Those are OEM.

Ok well I received my O2 sensor. So my question is what is the easiest and best way to get to the one on the driver side. I looked at it last night and that is the one that seams like its going to be the hard one to change. Any help would be great.

Thanks

From down below. It takes a little finagling, but once you get the socket
on it you should be fine. As people have mentioned, use a good lube
spray on it like PB Blaster and let it set for a while. I also recommend
starting the truck and letting it warm up a little. Not much, mayber a minute.
It doesn't take much to warm up and you don't want it red hot anyway
for obvious reasons. If you're lucky, you'll find the biggest PITA part is disconnecting
the electrical connector. Good luck.
