It's going to be a huge pain in the *** to put my oil pressure sender back on, do I need to use it. Does it just make a warning light go on or does it do something vital?

its just a warning light, you dont have to use it, but the light on the dash will stay on. It is not that difficult to put it back on.

I'm still trying to get it off. It's being a ----------er! I have some kind of group of wires in the way and I can't find the right socket. Does anyone know which sicket, I think 23mm but I'm not sure? Help!

HMT-Admin

God, I cant remmber off the top of my head, I am also thinking like 23mm or even a 7/8 or 15/16th might work.

I'm try to fight back but I'm having a bitch of a time getting a wrench in there? Any suggestions, wrench or socket?

turbohf

i thought it was a 24mm could be wrong though...

HMT-Admin

definatly use a socket on that bitch, Maybe it is 24mm, I have a "special" oil pressure sensor socket I use at work when I deal with those...

I had a huge problem getting mine out. I highly sugggest getting a deep socket for it. Look around, it will be worth your while. I have a 420a engine in my eclipse and if any of you have tried to get to the back of that block you will understand.... needless to say I understand your pain

I used an open ended wrench to break it loose, I think it was a 7/8 that fit right on there.

HOLY ----! I finally got it. I went back and forth to the hardware store 6 times, swallowed my gum and cut my hands up pretty bad but I got the ****** off. I can't use a deep socket because there is some metal bracket it its way and a regular one won't fit. So I just cut the tip of the sender because there is no way in hell I'm putting it back in, I'm just gonna take out the light in the instrument cluster. The score so far is Todd 2, Civic 0.
