Advice needed with installing new O2 sensors

I was just wondering if any of you guys have done this, and if so did you run into any problems? I will be changing out all three. My Haynes manual is not very specific on this topic. Is it as simple as just bolting down the new sensors and following the old wire run back up to the engine bay for the front sensors? The back one seems simple enough to do. Any pointers are appreciated.

I wrote the How-to and it's in the sticky at the top of the page. It covers all three sensors.

Swivel socket? Just grab a 7/8" wrench and get crackin' on the fronts. You can't use a regular socket since the wires are in the way. You have to either buy the O2 sensor too, waste of money, or use a wrench.

I want to thank you guys for helping me out. I borrowed the O2 sensor tool from Autozone and installed the new sensors right after I got home from work.
