<VV> Oil Pressure Switch

[J R Read_HML]

Hey Chuck,

There is nothing wrong with your removal method since you are going to throw 
it away once removed.  However - the correct socket for installation is 
appropriate in order to avoid the need to perform the whole job over again 
within a very short time period.
