Default Warning for all those doing intake swap

I just did my intake swap last night with a friend and it took us quite some time however one thing we found and apparantly its quite common is we broke the oil pressure sending unit taking out the old intake. theres a large vaccum hose behind it and when you slide then intake forward in an attempt to be able to reach it and disconnect it, it snaps the unit right off extremely easily. if this happens dont worry you can get a new one from advance auto/autozone but its 50 bucks. and ur supposed to have to get a big socket to get the nut from the broke one off but we got ours off with pliers and time. ur choice. before taking out the intake feel for the tube and the sensor the sensor feels like a round tube about 2 inches long sticking straight up its behind the back right part of your intake as its sitting in there. any other intake questions ask cuz we ran into a lot of snags with ours and solved em

It's also a common misconception that you cannot remove the sensor without removing the intake but that is wrong. I have been able to do so many times.
