Hi All,
While trying to clean out the cap/hood/sheath around the oil pressure sender I accidently snapped one of the wires. In my efforts to remove the sender to repair the wire or replace the unit, I snapped the remaining one as well.
I had tried every angle imaginable with a variety of tools but I can't get the damn thing to budge.
Helpful tips would be appreciated.

Just found this thread - might give this idea a go.
It may have been installed using a loctite product. I think you will need a lot of pressure using a 1/2" uni joint on a ratchet and extension. That's if I understand your problem correctly.
Maybe you need to shock it to break the seal

OR apply some heat if safe to do so.

Yeah, I thought of that too, except its pretty tight in there!
How about a set of vice grips
Is it possible to belt a large size "easy out" into it???

Does the sender unit have any flats on it? Try clamping a g clamp to the unit. This will give you something to hold onto as well as increase your leverage.

The g-clamp sound like the way to go - so damn tight in there, bugger all room
