Jeep 4.7 oil pressure switch

Trying to replace the oil pressure switch on a 2005 grand cherokee.4.7L

New switch uses a 1-1/16" socket.

Old switch, which i'm still trying to get out is smaller, the 1-1/16 goes on and spins.
Went and bought a deep 1" socket, it wont go on!
Did they make this oil pressure switch some weird size, or it takes a special socket?

There is no room to get pliers, or vice grips on it, it has to be a socket.
