Where to get O2(oxygen) sensor and how to install?

Hi guys,
I have a 2001 Mazima GXE with 70000 miles. I think I need to change the O2 sensors because the exhaust smell in the morning is a bit rich (burning too much fuel) and the Check Engine light came on. I had a problem with the O2 sensors back when the car was under warranty but they only changed 2 of them I think. I would appreciate it if someone would direct me where to look to get O2 sensor parts and a place where I can learn how to install them as well. I tried looking under the stickies for "GOT Check Engine Light?!? WHAT should you do?" "Parts List & Web Sites for 5th gen Parts" and "Installation Instructions / How-To's For ... " and I didn't find anything which is suprising because I remember the O2 sensors being an issue for many Maxima owners. SO any help would be great appreciated. Thanks!
-Joe

Wow thanks for the quick reply. Who is daveb and how do I contact him and do you know the price of each O2 sensor? I assume that there are 4 total correct?
BTW, sorry for posting in the wrong section.

The word is "precedent!" I'm looking for the same information, issa, and if only some around here would be more generous with their posts, I believe the information could be distributed and picked up much quicker. Anyway, I'm going to give DaveB a call tomorrow sometime. I just dislike the fact that he seems to be the only option presented, whether he may be the best or not.

He's the man...nobody has significantly better pricing. It's usually between 20-25% off dealer prices and no taxes if not in TX. So buy alot of **** at once, and save a bunch. There are plenty of other options out there, but the majority of the org chooses Dave Burnette including me.

Check your local autoparts store just to see if it's cheaper. If you look at the OEM O2 sensor it has Bosch stamped on it and that's what all the autoparts stores sell.

You need a 3/4"(I forget the metric size) wrench to remove it. Just unplug it, unscrew it, put the new one in and plug it in.
