John, The correct size for the oil light sender is actually 23mm and it must be a "deep" style socket. I recommend a 3/8'ths ratchet size for anyone who wants to buy one.

I borrowed a friend's socket and ratchet with a 1/2" head (all my stuff's 3/8ths) and the ratchet head was too big to fit in that space. The deep socket I got just grabbed on enough to get it free and later to crank it down and crush that washer. After I got all the stuff I needed it only took about 15 minutes of lying on the ground and trying to figure out how to get my hands up there. About 1/4-1/2 cup of oil came out when I unscrewed it and it ran straight down (rather than the course of the leak) so beware. I hate unexpected 'bleeding.' Apparently the leak was coming THROUGH the switch, not the seal. I took it out for a spirited drive afterwards and not a drop came out yesterday, though I'll admit I haven't looked today. -John #5572 > part #'s > 102462 SENSOR,OIL PRESSURE > 102461 SEALING WASHER To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
