A crescent wrench? Those are for hacks. IIRC, the oil sending unit has a 13mm fitting at the base to remove it.


Remember kids -- use the right tool for the job.

I'd like to be about 3" wide from shoulder to shoulder in order to fit in certain areas so I can see what the %&*()%()@ is causing parts to get hung up. This would also help in finding those hidden fasteners.
