Question? Is the oil pressure switch tool a thin walled socket? Using a standard 24mm socket I am unable to remove the sensor.

Sockets are only standardized on the size of the hex. The other stuff like OD, overall length, and shape are variable even between old Craftsman and newer Craftsman without even getting into other brand differences.
Maybe just see if you can find a slimmer socket at HD, Lowes, etc. than what you currently have. If it is indeed the long hex nut of the distributor hold down that is interfering, you could pull the distributor to improve access. Would need to reinstall distributor and set the timing. PITA. Like previous poster, I did need to do final removal by hand once it was loosened. |
