    After a nightmare, trying to find a spanner or tool to remove and replace the oil pressure sender on the gt4, I found a way to do it in under 10 minutes.

    I tried everything including a crows foot wrench but the space is far too restricted to get a turn on the 22mm nut.

    Then it dawned on me,
    Remove the oil filter, you will see 3 nuts connecting the oil filter and gauge housing underneath, remove the 3 nuts and washers carefully, then carefully lift the entire housing up and stick your spanner in which will allow plenty of room to work on.;-)))
    Job Done!!!

    Looks like a good alternative.. I ended up grinding down the sides of a crows foot wrench till I had enough room to loosen the sender and tighten the new one....thus making it one more 308 special tool ... (I did spend way more than 10 min grinding the wrench down)

    I was in the same position and ground down a few spanners;-(
    Honestly, removing the three nuts bellow was the easiest alternative, if only I did this in the first place;-), try it next time if you need to replace, it really is a 10 min job;-)
