Default Oil Pressure Sending Unit ???

Can the OPSU be changed without removing the intake? This would save a few hours of work if it can.

If you have hands the size of a kid and still able to turn the wrench. Also, maybe if the block was out of the car.

Yea thats a no, just take the intake off again, and be careful with the booster line and all the other conections, best way to reconnect it, is leave it unpluged until you get the intake back in place then reach back to make sure its all clear from being pinched or pulled. Then tighten down the intake after.

He got it done last night. Total time 3 hours. That included a trip to NAPA to get the OPSU. Not bad for a 16 year old.
