Re: oil sender removal tool
If you had thoughts about replacing and did not know what you had now(not removed yet) would the #50 or #80 lb be correct for a Forty ?

Re: oil sender removal tool
Sender needs to match the gauge (for original senders). Someone posted recently that they were using a modern sender (#60 lb) with an original gauge (#50) and getting correct reading.

Re: oil sender removal tool
Todays update. I had to make a new temporary gas line in order to get the car to basement. Had three on the shelf but not correct on incoming pipe so had to turn down the crimped fittings from the old pipe in lathe in order to have stubs to attach hose with clamps. Poking around in my scrap steel, I found enough odd pieces of stuff and am now making a wrench somewhat like pictures you folks sent along . My success will tell the story if it works ! Just one hurdle after another I guess.

Re: oil sender removal tool
Don't these little hurdles and trials test our resourcefulness as well as patience.
I can vouch for that. But in the end with a positive result its all worth while. Phil NZ |

Re: oil sender removal tool
The square shank you need to grip is 9/16...if you bend a 9/16 combination into a U you will be real close to the Snap-on purpose made tool. Just add an old socket at the top for a wrench extension. If you make one, the curve and spacing needed can be easily determined on a sender that's not on the car.

Re: oil sender removal tool
Plan "B"
After prying out the ill fitting repro floor board and contorting myself around pedals to get a wrench on the oil sender, I bought a 4" copper nipple of the same thread size and a threaded connector from Ace Hardware, and mounted the replacement Oil sender to that. Now I can get a regular wrench on it from the engine compartment. About $6. |
