Changing Oil Pressure sensor
My oil pressure sensor is leaking oil, so i figure its time to replace it, but i can't get it off, none of my deep sockets will do it, i even bought a special Oil pressure 1/2 socket, and still no good.. ANy advice on getting the stupid thing off?

I did that and it looks like the oil pressure sensor is mounted too close to the pan and the socket won't fit over it... Ill try vice grips

I think the socket is 1 and 1/16 inch for the stock sensor. It needs to be deep. My new sensor was a different size though. Just test fit some sockets and see what size you will need....or measure the darn thing with a ruler haha.
