[DML] Oil pressure switch removal and proper tool

["ksgrimsr" <knut.s.grimsrud@xxxxxxxxx>]

In the process of stamping out all possible hinds of oil residue from 
my car, I noticed when I had my muffler and heatshield off that the 
oil pressure switch (on the driver's side -- not the one by the oil 
filter) is also wet and so I think I'll replace it as well.

I'm a bit puzzled about the proper sized wrench for the sensor. 22mm 
is too small, and 24mm is too loose (I'm not pulling on a loose 
fitting wrench and rounding the fastener off). According to my 
calipers, 23mm should be just right, but a 23mm wrench is not a 
standard tool. Convering to standard (in case it's some trowback) 
gives me 29/32 which is also far from a standard tool size.

What is the proper tool size to wrench the oil sender with? Is it 
indeed some special-order 23mm odd-ball?
