Default Oil Pres. Sensor

Does the oil pressure sensor just turn out...at least I think it is for oil pressure...on the top side of the block in the rear next to the cam sensor?? I took a pic but the file was too big. I tried using a wrench and could not get on it real well. Needless to say, I could not get it too budge. Do I need to get a socket??

I could not get it either, had to go get a socket.

The upside is that this socket will also work for the ARP crank bolt.

Thanks for the pic. Looks like I'll be hunting for a socket.

I did some measuring and converting and got a 1 1/16" to work.

Here is another piece of useful information (from another post), if you don't use the factory sensors.
Autometer adapters...
Autometer 2277 1/8 NPT to M12 x 1.5 (temp sensor)
Autometer 2268 1/8 NPT to M16 x 1.5 (oil pressure)
