Just give it a try first, you might be surprised. I changed my 02 over the winter and thought for sure it would be stuck, but it came right out, without heat.

Run the engine for 45 seconds to 1 minute, then use a 7/8 in. wrench to spin it off. Depending on how long the sensor has been in place, you may have difficulty removing it without heat.

Use nickel-based anti-seize lubricant on the threads of the new sensor if it doesn't have it already.

What they said above and use a Denso o2 sensor, they're half the cost of a normal one and are filtered.
