Oil sending unit..

I just noticed that after doing some engine work, my oil sending unit it leaking pretty bad. I can't seem to get a wrench or a deep well on it. Anyone have any tips or know of some special tool I can buy to get that off? The motor is a L98.

Thanx.

Channel lock pliers will do the trick. Maybe not the best tool to use but they work pretty good!

there is an oil pressure sending wrench in most parts stores, on one of those rotating racks kinda like the HELP! section, they also have other nifty stuff like and o2 sensor wrench.

I'll have to take a look around tomorrow for that when everything is open again. I called one store, and the guy said he'd never heard of anything like that. That sounds like just the tool I was lookin for, just didn't know if it existed or not. Thanks!!
