Default Replacing an O2

I'm going to replace my driver's side post-cat O2 sensor next week and I was looking through the manual and it looks like I need to remove the coolant expansion tank to get at the connectors on the firewall. B2 S2 is brown and I'm gonna need a wrench and some jackstands...sound about right?

Thanks

Default Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the rear O2 connectors are on the passenger side,

so you don't need to move the coolant expansion tank, which is on the driver's side. You do need to move it to replace the pre-cat driver's side O2, and probably the passenger side pre-cat O2, but I don't really see the need to move it for the rear O2 sensors, not that it is hard to do or anything. By the way, are you going to use a VW O2 sensor? You can save big money by doing so. You also need an O2 socket for your wrench (almost always for 3/8" socket wrench).
