Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 1876458 Size: SH

    Note: A special anti-seize compound is used on the HO2S threads. The compound consists of liquid graphite and glass beads. The graphite tends to burn away, but the glass beads remain, making the sensor easier to remove. New, or service replacement sensors already have the compound applied to the threads. If the sensor is removed from an exhaust component and if for any reason the old sensor is to be reinstalled, the threads must have anti-seize compound applied before the reinstallation.

  1. If reinstalling the old HO2S, coat the threads with anti-seize compound GM P/N 12377953, or equivalent.

    2. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  2. Install the HO2S (2).

    3. Tighten
    Tighten the sensor to 42 N·m (31 lb ft).
