Remove the oil filter to gain access and use a deep socket over the sender unit, it may be 22, 24, 27 or 30mm depending upon it being an original or replacement switch.

Cheers assassin,it was a 26 mm and looked like original,lots of fafin about as most of it was done by feel.and hands to big to fit in tight spaces.

Many original ones from 2001-2005 were 30mm and most have had them replaced many times and could have been multiple sizes.

The one i replaced it with was a 24mm,and was a lot easier because i could use 3/8 ratchet with deep socket directly on it {except the bit where you have to locate it back in without being able to see where it screws into and contorting your hands into some very painful positions Very Happy
