They are screwed into a boss in the exhause pipe and can be a pain to get out, they usually require a special 6 point socket to remove. As far as cleaning one, that might be a bit difficult as they run at such high heat that anything that would end up on the business end of the sensor will turn to carbon, and carbon is very hard at best to remove.

IMHO, If I went thru all the trouble of determining that the 02 sensor is bad, and took it out, I'd likely spring for a new one.

Just sayin..........
