I'm no expert but there is no way the engine needs to be pulled to change O2 sensors. The job is a PITA because of limited access but can be done with patience.. and small hands help. Everything is accessible from the top with removal of only a few accessories.

As for changing them all, I would definitely change both upstream sensors. The other two downstream didn't throw any codes. That's what I did and they worked fine afterwards. Hope that helps.

You should monitor sensors activity to see if its really bad . Any way why change 2 sensors if only 1 is bad
