Just curious, if it's only 15k old, why are you replacing it?

Is the car showing any symptoms of a running problem?

Ususally antisieze paste is pre applied to the threads of new O2 sensors so it shouldn't be too hard to remove.

As far as removing the old one a special socket can be had at most parts stores to remove the sensor. Even Harbor Freight sells one for $5.00 or so. It's a crowfoot looking affair that goes on a 3/8 extension.
