<VV> Oil Pressure Switch

[J R Read_HML]

Arjay,

I've been able to get them out (usually) without moving anything else.  You 
may need to find a socket with a thinner wall and not too tall, slip the 
socket on (well, snake it down in) and then put the extension on the socket 
(3/8 drive) after it is already on the temp/pres switch.  You will probably 
need to bend the contact over a bit as well.  You probably don't need to 
seat the extension all the way into the socket, which will give you some 
wiggle room.  The interference area is usually the pulley on the alternator. 
A universal on the driver can sometimes help.

Later, JR
