Default Oil pressure sending unit help

What size socket is needed to remove the oil pressure sending unit from the engine? I'm speaking in terms of where it is bolted down.

I have the intake off, but can't seem to match up a socket with it. I'm pretty sure I broke the bastard when I took the intake off.
