I had the identical problem on my Land Cruiser. I replaced only the one bad sensor. Bank 1 is the side that does include cylinder 1 (I believe this is the front side). Still no failure on the other one, a year later. I bought a Bosch sensor at Pep Boys for about $75. I have also seen these on eBay. If you buy the Bosch, don't be afraid of using their special connector. Pep Boys also loaned me the special socket I needed to force it out and reinstall it. Be sure to use anti-sieze on the new sensor. These O2 sensors have a heating filament in them to get 'em working faster than normal exhaust gas temp. The filament is not too much different than the filament in a light bulb, so it's not unusual for one to fail and the other one not to. Mike

I paid a local shop to install a CD changer in the dash of my 98 Avalon; it took him about 15 minutes. The large plastic surround (the right side is just past the radio, the left is past the ignition key) just pops off with a little persuasion. He used his fingers and a flat bar. The radio and CD changer are then easily removed. I forget if they're held in by a couple of screws of just a clip on either side. Be careful not to break anything and it shouldn't be too hard. Mike
