Is there a special way to remove an oil pressure switch on a 2.0. I am worried that i may drop it behind the tin.

Here's my trick, but I have not used it in a while so YMMV.
Large deep socket to get it really loose, like finger-tight loose. Get a piece of rubber fuel line that will fit around the body of the electric ceramic terminal and capture it, use that to twist and remove the sensor the rest of the way. Use that same rubber hose to reinsert the fitting (ensuring proper thread grip and not cross-threaded) then use same deep socket to tighten it. I use the same technique with spark plugs. |
