Markc Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hello all, i have an oil pressure gauge to fit, well fitted this im just struggling to get the pressure switch off of the back of the block. Deep socket is no good as there is a raised thread on the block which obstructs the socket from fitting on propery, a 24mm spanner is too big to get in the small gap left by everything fitted to the engine and im going to have to resort in getting a set of crow foot spanners to hopefully get it off. What do the rest of you do to get this off while everything is fitted to the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Get under the car and do it from underneath I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
