You can go either way. If you buy a sensor with an OE connector, you simply unplug/replug. If you buy one you have to splice, then, you cut the wires and splice. Beav recommended that you not unplug the sensors if you're going to splice (due to "wicking" and somesuch). Simply snip the wires and remove the sensor, then, splice the new one after you've installed it.
Iwas told by one mechanic that you can't splice the wires on O2 sensors. Following this post & others (thanks vkykam) he was obviously wrong.

What is the "CORRECT" way to splice? Just solder the wires?
