Re: Oil Pressure Switch
My wife and I just got done with said switch. Did not remove anything or jack up the engine. My wife went in above the lower radiator hose with her small hands. I bought a short sensor socket from Amazon , and a open end 3/4 wrench. I tried but my hands just would not fit. It took about an hour or so to finish it. Thank you to my wife and you guys for all the information.

Re: Oil Pressure Switch
I installed this oil pressure switch today. This thread was very helpful - especially the hint about removing the wheel and middle fender liner panel. I tried using a 27 mm socket but couldn't get it to work. I rummaged around my toolbox and found an actual 3/8 drive oil sensor socket which made the job possible with a regular 3/8 ratchet.
Thanks all! |

Re: Oil Pressure Switch
The Ares socket is a must, standard 26mm deep socket is too long. Removed the mounting bolts for the heater lines and got in there with a bent handle 3/8? socket wrench. Got the old one out laying across the engine and got the new one started that way by hand. Went in over the lower radiator hose, would be much easier with hose removed, check for leaks for sure if replacing radiator hoses.

Re: Oil Pressure Switch
I bought two oil pressure switch sockets on Amazon. Cut them and welded them to be deep enough to go over that TALL sensor.
