Oil sending unit/switch

You may need a pipe wrench to remove it. The threads are pretty big, about 5/8" across so it can take some torque. If your new gauge has a 1/4", 27npt fitting you will need a 3/8", 18npt male to 1/4, 27npt female adapter, I believe.

I don't think I can get a pipe wrench down inside there. It is really a tight area. I am not sure of the fitting size on the new sender. It has a big bell looking thing. Here is the gauges:

And here is the sending unit if that helps?

PA…. Was the ambient air and engine temperature cold when you tried to remove sender? If so, sometimes threaded items of dissimilar material such as steel bolt screwed into aluminum gets real tight as temperature gets low from different rates of linier expansion. In other words aluminum tends to shrink and or expand twice the distance as steel per degree from room temperature. This expansion thing becomes more problematic if the bolt or device was installed on a hot engine. I don’t recall if the oil sending unit is steel in aluminum or not, but it has a funky pot metal shape to get a wrench onto it.

Warm engine up, and try it again.

I didn't think of warming up the engine first. That may be an idea. I had a heck of a time getting to it.
