Help removing OPS

[Michaeljp86]

One of my trucks isnt showing oil pressure on the gauge. It always had great pressure so Im thinging it the OPS. I changed the one on my other truck but this one doesnt want to come out. I used a spanner wrench on the other truck. How do I get this thing off?

Auto parts store has a special socket for it or a 1 1/16" deep socket

I got at mine with the deep-well socket but it was tight going on my 95. You might want to consider placing the truck up on ramps or jack stands that might give you a better shot at it from underneath...just a suggestion as I didn't have to do that on mine but I do recall seeing the OPS in clear sight when I replaced my fuel lines.

Hope this helped

Ive got the old OPS from my other truck. Maybe Ill see if I can find a socket at the hardware store. I hate to buy the special tool and never use it again. But then again the way my luck is I should spend the money on it just so Ill never use it. Well until I cant find it, thats when Ill need it again.
