Lisle 13250 Oil Pressure Switch Socket

worked

まさしく痒い所に手が届くという言葉がピッタリです。通常の27ミリのディープソケットでは届かず焦ってしまいましたが、専用工具なのでバッチリ交換作業ができました。

Fit perfectly.

Glad I tried this socket because it works well for my needs. The stopper helps prevent pushing the plug in too far, which is handy when working with delicate wires. I did notice that the stopper is only on one side, so the socket can tilt if you're not careful, especially when removing or installing sensors. I had a small scare when I took out an old sensor because of this. Being gentle and cautious during installation is definitely the way to go. It’s a good tool to have in the kit.

This socket was perfect for the task. However, replacing an oil pressure sensor on a GM LT engine is not the easiest task. Access is limited and you have to work by feel unless you have a video borescope tool. If your hands are large this method may not work for you. The first challange is to remove the electrical connector on the top of the sensor. I couldn't get it off using my fingers and ended up using a loop of wire to hook the latching clip and lift the connector off. After that things went quite smoothly. The socket fit nicly on the sensor, but it dropped out of the socket on the way out and I couldn't recover it. Before installing the new sensor I put a strip of electrical tape in the socket to ensure that the sensor was secure, I should have done this before removing the old sensor. Be careful when you fit the new sensor, you don't want to cross thread it!
