Oil line install problem

Okay, so im trying to finish up my project and the rubber "boot" on the oil pressure sender will not come off. I have really no room to work in that area so i cant even get a screw driver under there to pry at it or anything. pulling on it doesnt work......i dont want to rip the wire out and ---- the connection....any help would be appreciated

theres only a single wire going to that sensor anyways, you can and inside that boot is a platic connection, you cant really mess it up, just cut the boot with a straight razor

there talking about cutting the boot not the wire. After the boot is gone it should be easier
to get the wire off.

Re:Oil line install problem

the wire plugs in to the oil pressure sensor with a little male/female plug action. just yank it out, it unplugs.

Re:Oil line install problem

Sometimes those connectors are on the oil pressure sensor very tight, do as greddy crx said, wiggle it side to side and just pull hard. Actually just grab the end of the wire and pull, it usually comes off. I never run the ------- boot cover anyways, it's just there so no corrison gets on the connector. If you do break it off, just get a blue butt-connector and connect one end, and the other end goes right in the sensor no problem.
