Default Oil pressure sender

Can anyone tell me what they've done to get the oil sending unit out? I don't have any wrenches or sockets the right size, and I can't really fit a crescent wrench in the limited space it's in. What size is it?

I'm trying to get the oil feed line for my turbo hooked up there, but am stuck on that until I can get to a hardware store. (which is a real pain in the *** when my car is in many pieces )
thanks

I believe it's a 15/16 long socket.

yep 15/16th. I used a 1/2" drive one from my craftsman set to get it off and it worked just fine.

ViceGrip? Hehehe! that's ghetto dawg! THat **** reminds me of when we didn't have all the tools to fix our BMX bikes back in the days!
Not trying to flame or anytihng cause I've used that many times. I just say if you're gonna do it then get the right tools for the job dawg!

just my 2¢

Thanks guys, I just went to Sears and got a 15/16 socket and it did the trick perfectly. I guess I could have gone the vice grips route, but I couldn't find them anyway.
