oil pressure sender
 

how the hell do u get the oil pressure sending unit out. i bought a oil pressure gauge and i cut out the dash and mounted it and ran the line but now i cant get the ------ sending unit out. do u use a socket or something. i'm about 2 just let a garage do it when i have it inspected

Re:oil pressure sender
 

I used a socket.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

lol, did you expect it to just fall out or something? bust out a socket on that thing

Re:oil pressure sender
 

ight thanks. the ------ haynes maual didnt help thats why i asked. they made it seem it just screws out easily.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

24 deep fits

Re:oil pressure sender
 

well what the ---- did you do with the wire on the back of it?

i must've done it the hard way and used a wrench >:(

Re:oil pressure sender
 

??? lol. ummmm. Disconnect it. ::)

Re:oil pressure sender
 

lol wtf, obviously its not just gonna come out hand tight, I dunno I found that funny, made a thread before even attempting anything

Re:oil pressure sender
 

Are you turboed?

Re:oil pressure sender
 

^^^ who are u asking. i'm not turbo'd yet i'm slowly getting everything i need. i know i'm gonna need a T fitting 2 run the oil line and use the pressure gauge and i could wait till i'm ready 2 put the turbo in and ---- but i snapped the little metal peice off the sender so now i gotta hook the gauge up. just incase my pressure so happens 2 drop or some ---- i wanna know about it.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

well your pressure sensor is broken now and you need another one, unless you can get someway to put that connector back in. I broke mine its not that big of a deal pocketed another one from a junkyard. First you disconnect the wire and use a 24mm deep socket and turn it to the left or counter clockwise to loosen it and done. You must've thought you can just pull it out haha j/p

Re:oil pressure sender
 

be prepared for your oil light to be on 24/7 now

Re:oil pressure sender
 

i'm still amazed that he was trying to remove it with the wire still intact

Re:oil pressure sender
 

the oil light will be on? i started it with the wire not connected 2 the sender and there were no lights on. no oil or check engine. maybe when i take it out i dont know but why would that make a diffrence if its out. if the wire isnt connected it cant read anything so wouldnt it be on with the wire off.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

i removed mine with it intact, because i can hardly see the mother fucker in there. how the hell do you remove the wire from the sender?

Re:oil pressure sender
 

it just pulls off. i'm still trying 2 figure out this oil light thing cause mine isnt on with the wire off the sender. i could care less if it comes on but i think its weird that its not on with the wire off

Re:oil pressure sender
 

not that i don't believe you, but didn't you break yours? can anyone confirm that it just "pulls" off?

Re:oil pressure sender
 

just dont pull on the wire itself, pull on the connector if i remember it should come right off....and the light wont be on with it unhooked :P

Re:oil pressure sender
 

yes, it just pulls right off. There is usually a rubber boot over the connector. Pull the boot off, then pull the connector off.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

yeah it just pulls off. Im guessing you still have the oil filter on if you can't see anything. if it's time to change the oil too then just take it off and make life easy. You might want to teflon tape it when you put it back too just in case.

Re:oil pressure sender
 

actually, i just have a tight ass fit in my engine bay, being that its an accord. it was a pain in the ass fitting the "t" in there, because i've never taken off the sender before. i was too afraid i would break it, so i left the wire on. with the oil filter on, it would be virtually invisible in any car.
