: Tips for removing the Oil Pressure Sender?? Diaric 09-13-2009, 12:44 PM unscrew it.... hold the brass fitting underneath with a wrench and it should just unscrew, theres a square fitting on the bottom to use a wrench on stoverdr 09-13-2009, 01:00 PM Oh the brass fitting can turn while I am unscrewing the unit? I can see it and unscrew it but not both at the same time. Diaric 09-13-2009, 01:05 PM yes, at the same time, the sender will hit the block/intake, thats why the brass fitting is angled. they come off one at a time stoverdr 09-13-2009, 01:13 PM I wonder why they even bother putting a fitting on the top of the unit if you can't use it to remove the sending unit? Diaric 09-13-2009, 01:20 PM to change the angle so it points up around intake and clears the firewall stoverdr 09-13-2009, 01:59 PM fabbed a wrench and got it! Off to the parts store. Thanks 4320Diesel 09-13-2009, 02:04 PM wow that was alot harder than my truck is. you just pull the vacuum pump off so you have room to move the wrench and unscrew it. stoverdr 09-13-2009, 05:15 PM I won't have to worry about it anymore because I installed a 3" nipple and a "T" to feed a mechanical gauge and the newly installed turbo!! | ||
