Thread: oil pressure brass thing

Tweet

i dont know the actual name of the part. but i was trying to break the oil pressure sensor loose on my 4.3 and it broke the copper piece flush with the intake manifold.
i really dont have much time to fix this so has this happened to anyone or have any ideas on how to fix this?

is it a reducer for an NPT threaded sensor, or is it actually part of the sensor.... if its just a reducer, then just thread in a new sensor and leave it how it is for now.... if its the base of the sensor, then one trick might be to try and cut a slot in it with a small chisel, and then use a screwdriver to remove it....

the sensor threads into the part and the part threads into the intake manifold

Twist it out with an E-Z-Out, available at any auto parts store or hardware.

i got it out with a ez out but noone had the part so napa had to rig me up something and the sensor doesnt work lol
thanks tech for all your help i really appreciate it
