I had my indy do it when he was doing some other work on the truck and it was already on the hoist. It's only a 10 minute job so $432 still seems excessive. Even if you paid him 30 minutes to do it, that's only $50 in labour, right? Plus $150 for the parts... Really, all they do is unplug the sensor, then wrench it off, then wrench on the new one and plug it in. Then do it again for the second sensor...

You should be able to havae it done for $200 in total. OR, you could you buy the special tool that you need to this (it has a slot for the wire) and then do it yourself. I just dont' have garage (live in a condo) so can't really do that. Then it would be only parts.

you're right though, do both at the same time. No point in waiting for the other one to crap out, it's only a matter of time before it does.
