I have changed two oil senders so far, and it isn't easy finding something
that fits. I could not find a 23mm socket anywhere -- NAPA, Snap-On, Pep
Boys, Discount Auto, Sears, etc. I ended up using a slightly larger size
American socket. The fit wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. It's been
a while, so I don't remember if I used a swivel extension or a straight one.
On one of the cars I did, some thick nasty looking oil gushed out when I
removed the sender, so watch out. I was ready for it on the second car, and
barely anything dripped out. I had the oil drained on both motors, too.
