Had the rear oxygen sensor replaced in my 2003 Accord tonight. My mechanic said the passenger seat had to be removed which added to the labor. It was much more costly than I expected ($420, after 10% discount, Honda part). Do you think this is something a semi-handy person can do, in this specific make/model? The mechanic made it sound like a bear while an internet search shows plenty of weekend cowboys are doing it for cheap. I want to believe my mechanic but it's like asking the barber if I need a haircut.

Its a lot of money to replace one O2 sensor
and the difficult part of replacing it ,is that you may need heat to loosen it of the exhaust
and no need to remove any seats
