Not familiar with the difference between 2.8 and 4.3 Blazers, but I'll volunteer that at least on the 2.8s, the O2 sensor is reached from behind the passenger's side wheelwell. You'll have to jack it up and place jackstands. But its very easy. Plenty of room for the normal O2-sensor sockets they sell at the parts store.
Watch a few Youtube videos first for pointers.
May I ask what is up with "Universal 02 sensor" vs 3 and 4-wire leads? I want to get the somewhat expensive $70 Denso one.
Now, that said.. if I can jam a ratchet on there and get it off. And then wire it back up (hardest part for me.) As this is what cheap/fast shop will do. Is that fine ?
I have ramps........................................... But the shop wants to do it and seems to want to do it for free, and use smoke machine to see if leaks... but if 02 sensor, may not have to do leaks test.. though I must drive like this until first/only day off: Tuesday.
