Yeah, pretty simple to do. If they're in an area where you can't get a wrench, you'll have to get a special made socket that has a slot cut out for the wire. Those should be available at your local parts store. You can cut the wires off the old one and use a regular deep socket to take it out, which is usually best since they're usually in there pretty good.
You'll also want to soak it in WD-40 or something similar for about 30 minutes or longer to loosen the rust that will be around it, making it easier to remove.

Yes you can, but you will need some WD-40 and either a 22mm or a 7/8 wrench to get the O2 sensor off. Do not try an adjustable, it has to be a box wrench.
