Default CEL Code 41 - Now what?

I finally got around to finding the code for my CEL and its 41 - 02 sensor..

What do most people do when the 02 sensor goes bad? Or what should I do, like the cheapest or best way to replace / fix it? h:

most people replace them when they go bad... take it in to your local dealer... it could be very difficult to replace (if its what i think it is)

Could be something else causing the o2 sensor to trip. plugs wires ect. replace the o2 and reset the code see what happens.

Find someone and use their o2 sensor to see if it rids of the CEL.
If it does, then go buy new one.

An o2 sensor is cake to take off. PB Blaster it and go at it with a wrench.

Hmmm interesting.

A few peopel have recommended me to stick in someone else's o2 sensor and see if that really is the problem.. well I have a 95 Civic LX Sedan, would any 92-95 civic o2 sensor work or what?

The guy at the shop also said I could gt the OEM/Honda original sensor or I could replace it with a universal one, I wouldnt do that but that would also work the same as checking it with another oem o2 sensor right?

And let me just double check this here... all the o2 sensor is.. is like a band of wires right? Eh? h:

I kinda have noticed my car's been running a little strangely but I was just assuming it was just me. h:
