Can anyone tell me what socket I will need to tighten the oil pressure sender on an EF?

I think it's the pressure sender. It's in the cylinder block in behind the intake manifold. Bastard of a place to get too!

i've been told a slipjaw set of pliers is best - the socket for them would have to be one huge MOFO! lol hence why mine is STILL sitting here after 3 months! :roll:

I had to replace a ED one today it took about a 15/16 i think dont hold me to that. Easiest way to replace them is jack up the font and take off the wheel and oil filter.

a 1 inch socket is the go, even easier if its a long tube type socket.

Kewel.

I'll fix that today. It's spewed about 2L of oil out of the damn thing in the last 2 weeks. No warning, just started leaking.

Time for some loctite me thinks.
