Default replacing vtec oil pressure sensor

I have a sir2 and the sensor in the picture below is broken on the yellow line. When I look inside the sensor, all i see is a shiny metalic disk with a hole in the middle and it's kinda scratched up. Anyways what do I need to do to fix either the sensor, or am I going to have to buy a new vtec assembly?



thanks

or screw the sensor, just ground it. and the ECU will think the pressure is always there...anyways, that is how it is on the 96+ JDM b-series and most d-series

I would like to buy the sensor, but i have to get the rest of the old one out. It is broken off flush at that yellow line. There are no wires coming out of it. When I look inside of the sensor (towards the head) I see a shiny metallic donut. Is that apart of the broken sensor, or does it stay inside the assembly?

from the pic it looks like your finger is right where you should put a wrench to start turning the sensor out. From the yellow line toward the wiring harness there isn't any way to remove the sensor so logic follows that the surface intended to use to remove it is in the other direction
