O2 Sensor Replacement
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Good Afternoon:
After doing some digging around, I have found that the wiring to the front O2 sensor on the passenger side of my XKR has been chewed up by some rodent![Icon Sad](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
I have decided to give replacing it a go.
I have two questions:
1) How do you remove the protective silver covered plate that is protecting the 02 sensor? Is there anything else I should be be weary of before replacing?
2) Which Side is Bank A on the US Models.?
Thank you.

The A bank is passenger side on a 2001.
Are you talking about the stiff fiberglass-like material heatshields? They are just bolted on.
Access to the O2 sensors is very limited on the XKR, and they often require a huge amount of torque to remove. You may find it easier to remove the entire catalytic converter to get the sensors off.
Attached is my write-up on a catalytic converter upgrade, which will have useful information for this job.
