I have good news. Went to autozone and they charged me $67. Went home to change it and found out it was the wrong one. Mine had a circular plug, while the one they gave me had a u-shapped plug. Sprayed some pentrating oil on the front one, and removed. Took about two minutes. Took both of them back to autozone and they brought out the post 1/3/99 (figuring I bought my car in Dec. of 98, I don't know how this happened) and seemed to be the correct one. I have the part numbers at home. They actually had two different ones w/ the same connection, the only difference was the wire length. So I got the longer one, just incase it was my back one that was bad and it was only $49.99. Luckily for me it seems to be running fine today.

However, I did look at the back one and it seems to be accessable from underneath. I took some pics and maybe considering writing a How-to if I get the time. I am not sure if there computer is wrong or not, but I would recommend getting under you car and seeing what type of connector you have first u vs 0.

The uppers have the U-shaped plug. The lowers (downers?) have the O-shaped plug. The lowers come in at least two varieties: green and blue. Early cars use blue. The sensors look alike but the alignment dowels are in different positions.
