[FC] help needed... replace oil pressure sender

[J. R. Read]

Since it already leaks it probably does not matter if you use pliers for 
removal.  But, be DANG sure to use the right tool for the install!  The one 
specifically designed for this job.  It does not look like a "regular" 
socket.

I usually just bend the L connector on the part down a bit if gets in the 
way of the extension for the socket.  And you really don't have to fully 
insert the extension into the socket.  You don't need to be a HE-MAN for 
this job.  Oh, don't use Teflon tape - or only very little.  The switch has 
to ground to complete the electrical circuit - and you don't want Teflon in 
you oil passages anyway.

Later, JR
