i (like an idiot) put sealant on the threads finger tightened it as hard as i could,now it 's not in far enough to be out of my headers.i've tried every tool i have nothing seems to fit.i realize i should of test fit it first.i don't have much room because of the headers ,but i don't want to take the header off because they are welded to the straight pipe. thanks for reading.

 

Do you have a pair of channel-lock pliers? They are adjustable and should be able to fit around the switch. Get a good firm grip and turn very carefully so as not to break the contact on top or strip the threads. Take your time and it should be ok as long as you get it screwed in far enough to prevent an oil leak (bad personal experience, lol).

 

i'll try that,i just went and bought a 15.00 socket just for oil unit, theres not enuff room for it to fit.

 

Did you get 'er?

 

no i didn't,but im going this morning to see if they will exchange the socket for a wrench.i did figure out its a 1 -1/16 .what a crazy size.

 

Sounds like you're on the right track now, good luck.

 

yep, the open end wrench worked ,but it was 5 dollars more.at least i got it .thanks 4 your time.
