Default How to remove oil pressure switch on back of block?
My switch was boken on a head swap. I can probably get the broken one out with some pliers but I can't find a deep enough socket to replace it.

If you get a 27mm deep socket, then it also works for the ARP crank bolt.

The LS1 oil sensor is alot taller than that sensor.

There is a specific socket for it, and IMHO its worth buying. Its around 10.00 like was stated before. Just look for a GM oil pressure switch socket.
