Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

[george0029]

So my oil pressure sensor's been acting up and I finally decided to remove and replace it. Problem is I have no idea what tool to use to get it out, or how to access it conveniently. I currently have it up on stands with the fan removed but more access would be great.

My biggest concern however is what tool to use to remove it.
Any ideas??

UPDATE: To remove oil pressure sensor use a 1/2" Drive ratchet, 5" extension, and 1 1/16" deep well socket.

Oil pressure sensor is located 2" above oil filter.
Replacement available at NAPA Auto Parts.

For easiest access to sensor, remove cooling fan, and drain engine oil to avoid it spilling all over the place.
