Default Oil Pressure Sensor Removal Question

ok, so my 200 piece craftsman took kit don't have a socket thats big enough (bigger than 22mm and 7/8") for the oil pressure sensor on my d16z6. who out there knows what size socket i need to take the damn thing off because i tried a crescent wrench and didn't get very far....

Metric equivalent works too - it's actually a metric size, but since it's held in with 15 ft/lbs torque at most you won't hurt anything using an SAE alternative.

It's either 7/8ths or 1 inch, or 21 or 22mm in metric. Like JD said...you won't hurt anything either way taking it out.

24mm

24mm deep socket. 1" works too, but only a 6pt socket. Don't try a 1" 12 pt.

A shallow will work, but you are gonna have to only put the rachet in half way.

Hell, I have even used a crecent wrench. Helps if it is short, but can open wide.

I just removed one with a 1" wrench...you're right...24mm. I got confused with my Subaru's crank pulley bolt. :P Or just use a big pair of channel locks.

I tried a crescent, I don't know how much those sensors are and it was slipping so I quit. I know they are cheap but money is money, and I didn't want to have to take a trip to the damn parts store for something stupid that they might not of had in stock.

Also, thanks everyone for the info.

Miller is delivering my Syncrowave 200 this week! I ordered my wideband last week, and I'm gonna sit down tonight and order some stainless and flanges.

The rust rocket should soon have a 14b on it. Maybe 2 months, max. I'll definatley keep everyone posted.
