Hi,

I'm fitting an oil pressure gauge so need to remove the oil pressure switch/sender before fitting a 'T' piece, can anyone tell me the deep reach socket size needed?

Cheers. JJ

OE spanner, pipe grips, or any kind of adjustable spanner should remove it easily. It should be little more than hand tight.

Thanks Brian. A well positioned whack with a hammer and centre punch saw if off in the end. I think the hand that tightened it up was attached to a gorilla!
