how did you swap out the oil pressure sending unit?

I've got the 1 1/16 open end wrench, but it hits the A/C hose, and you can't get to it from underneath, (I don't think).

And it's too long to get a deep socket over it.

 

I just used a small pipe wrench and it worked fine. I didn't even bother trying a socket.

 

lol, yea I think I'm just going to try my vice grips

 

there is a special socket(s) just for sending units. i think i have three different ones at work. the one you need should work on both sending units.

Thanks Zedpapa, I just found this one online for $9.25, supposed to fit 87 and up Chrysler, will order it if vice grips don't work.

 

On second thought maybe Autozone will have it as part of their tool loaner program.

 

what is this gauge swap your talking about?

 

I used vice grips to get it loose then it cam off pretty easily with my hands.

 

swapping the idiot lights out for actual gauges.


hell, when i did it to my 93....it was just plug and play, didnt have to swap out any senders.

 

I've always used vice grips.
