My variation to the solution. I did not want to destroy one of my Snap On sockets (and didn't want to go buy a cheap one
)
This came with some HF mega set of driver "tips". Works great with a 1/4" socket to drive it.
thats a beauty!
I bought an extension from the FLAPS for around 3 dollars...
carry it in the car with spare senders on road trips.
Thanks everyone for your tips and suggestions. Wayne
So to follow up: I followed the example provided by
@bzettner and it worked great (btw, I used a "wobbly" 3" extension and it gave a little more room to work). OK, got the old sender out just fine....but how do you get the new one back in? For about two weeks of frustration and trying every possible tool I owned I was ready to start taking the engine out of the car! Then I happened to harken back to the old days when I had Sunbeam
Tigers....and the way weird way I had to install the rear spark plugs thru a hole in the firewall under the dash....with a piece of gargen hose! Yes, Yes, a hose. So I took a scrap piece of about 1/2" to 5/8" Inside diameter heater hose...cut it to about 5" in length, pushed the sender into one end and VOILA! got it screwed in the first time. All is well again in my 914 World!
