<VV> Oil Pressure sender (getting it off and then on again)

[JRVIDRINE at aol.com]

Hello,
 
I am working on putting everything back together after taking the  engine 
shrouding off to paint it and replace the rubberized fabric seal to the  body.  I 
got every thing back to this point, but I would like to know how  you can 
take the oil pressure sending unit off (what kind of tool to use)  without 
removing the generator (or alternator) and fuel lines.  It would  take a 1 1/16" 
deep socket (which I don't have), but I don't believe it would  fit into the 
limited area.  I had to take the sending unit off in order to  start the rear most 
generator bolt back in.  I removed the sending  unit while the generator was 
off (just prior to reinstalling it) using a  crescent wrench.  After getting 
the generator back on, I was able to use a  crescent wrench to tighten it back 
up, but it was difficult and I'm not 100%  sure it is on tight enough.  Is 
there a special tool or trick? 
 
If anyone has any advice on this I would appreciate it.  
 
To all veterans out there, God bless you and thank you to your service to  
our country.  
 
At this time forty years ago I was an Infantryman with the 82nd  Airborne 
Division on a combat deployment to Santo Domingo, Dominican  Republic.  You 
really do appreciate freedom and the benefits of freedom,  when you witness the 
cost of it.
