the answer to your question is yes and no,give the oxygen sensor a spray with wd40 and allow it to soak as these can sieze in the exhaust due to being exposed to the weather,make sure you use a good quality socket to reduce the risk of rounding off,the coolant sensor should be straight forward to replace
