Stupid KA enigineering
« on: Oct 4, 2011, 09:43PM »
So today I swapped out my oil pressure switch and found that its impossible to get any tools onto it, so with 15 minutes and a thousand quarter turns later from below with a pair of vice grips it was out, then the same in reverse....in the end I was pretty annoyed

Who is talking about getting to it from under the bonnet? Pretty easy to get to it from under the car.

wait, you are talking about the oil pressure sensor right? I don't see what's so hard about it? I got mine out in a couple of minutes with a shifter (and / or a open ended spanner), under the bonnet.. There's plenty of room.  ???

Try replacing the Welsh plug that is above the oil filter housing lying down under the car then. Moohaha.

I know this is an old post but you used a pipe wrench on an automotive application so.. it's not a big surprise that you made it more difficult for yourself.
27mm wrenches can be had for 7 dollars. Shoulda. Shoulda. Coulda.
