Also, to help a little in finding it. The EGR valve has a large tube going to the rear header. Follow that down. Now, keep following the header, until to find this smaller thing, with one little purple wire going to it. That'* the o2 sensor.

Have had a Boshe sensor in one car for about a year now - seems OK though MPG may have dropped slightly. Biggest issue is that it is enough longer than a Delco that it barely fits in my socket and must be removed to get the #6 spark plug out.

Have heard of one (1) O2 sensor being far too difficult to remove, have never had any difficulty (more than two grunts) on any I have replaced.
Always use anti-seize and tighten like a spark plug but that is all. I do use a slotted O2 socket with about a foot of extensions but nothing special.
Now if someone in the past played godzilla with it, no doubt it would be difficult but I have been fortunate so far. Of course I also have lived in the south for thutty yar so have missed many experiences like rotted cradles and brake lines.

You could always soak it overnight in penetant like I did. Warm the car a few min. to heat the manifold then put a cold socket on it if its stuck.
My Bosch 02 on my 96 has worked well so far for about a year.
Maybe Bosch has improved them.
