Default Quick question about replacing oil sending unit

When I put my ls6 intake on, I broke the oil pressure sending unit. I have a new one on the way. My question is when I pull the intake back off, do I have to replace the gaskets on the intake or can I just reuse the ones that are on it. Thanks.

You can reuse them indefinitely, just check to make sure they are in good shape.

I just pulled the oil pressure unit out. I did not have to pull the intake. All I did was remove the AIR hose and drivers PCV hose out of the way. I paid $6 for the special socket that just slipped over the unit and with a 3in extension on my rachet just took it out and put the new one in.

I went to my local Chevy dealer and had to order one. It took 3 days to get here.
