Default Broke Oil Pressure Sending Unit

Hey guys, I broke my oil pressure sending unit while trying to install my new intake. I broke it off at the base of it. I was wondering how I could get the rest of it out? I know they make a special socket for them somewhere. Is the socket all I need to get it out? Thanks.

won't need anything special to get the base out, but you'll want to get the proper socket to re-install your new $80 OPSU. Don't feel bad, it's a REAL common OOPS! You can find the OPSU socket at most auto places. Got mine at Autozone.
