I know the situation is a bit different for yours (2 oxygen sensors) than for my 1990 (only one sensor), but this is totally a DIY possible job. Hopefully other folks that have newer 9000s will chime in too.....
If you've never replaced the oxy sensor before, it's probably near time anyway. But only order the first one (the one closest to the turbo), as I hear the second one fails very rarely. I'd replace the first and inspect the second to see if it needs attention.
Tools are straight forward. The only special thing you might want is a slotted socket attachment that allow you to extract the sensor without damaging the wiring. Any ol' parts store will have it. I didn't need it, luckily enough. Also, the Haynes manual recommends hi-temp grease for the threads upon refitting.
Good luck and be careful with the sensitive sensor tips!
