Socket size for oil pressure sender?
My oil pressure sender has gone bad. Trying to remove the old one and need to know the socket size to remove the unit? I tried a 27mm socket no dice. Anyone know the exact size so I can purchase the correct size socket.
Thanks

You actually remove it with the "stem" of the sender, not the head. I think it's just 17mm or 19mm, something pretty common.

I saw the stem hex, I attempted to get on it with a open-ended wrench, but couldn't get the proper angle due to the hoses in my way. I will give it another shot.

It helped when cleaning the contacts, but still seems inconsistent. Did you end up getting a new sender?

I haven't yet. Most of the time my gauge seemed to be reading low or not reading at all at idle or lower RPMs. I tried cleaning the contacts once and that helped a little. I cleaned them again and it is reading much better. But it hasn't been too long so I will keep an eye on it. Biggest problem is cleaning the contact in the connector. My wire isn't very long and it is a PITA to clean it. So I don't think I have done a very good job.
