Get a medium deep 24mm socket for 3/8 drive, (thin wall, not impact) and small 3/8 drive breaker bar. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the wire connector and the rest will be easy. Make sure you have the correct switch (grey .9 bar or black 1.2 bar) normally open. The breaker bar and deep socket will make this easy. Dennis

I'm about to replace the oil pressure switch on the rear (front) of the engine down by the oil pump. Before the swearing, drinking, and busted knuckles begins does anyone have words of wisdom from doing this before. Car is a 91 with a 2.1 wbx and a/c. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
