Are they always a complete cunt to remove?  The only other time I've pulled one of these was when the motor (different car) had been stripped down to a bare block, so there was no intake mani or head on it and I just sorta ripped it off with pliers and broke it.  On my accord, it is stuck the fuck on there to the point where I was wondering if I was doing it wrong or not.  It does just pull off, right?

I'm gonna try again tomorrow morning.  If I don't break it, I kinda want to try to keep the idiot light, even though I'll have an oil pressure gauge on the steering column.

Sorry for the noobishness of this post.

The rubber thing is just a boot. Rip that bitch off, and a large (20mm or so, fuck, I don't know) socket will get the sensor out.

I think Stealthmode has a few children in some of his socks. I picked up one of his socks thinking it was mine and it was crunchy. Now I spend all day wondering what the hell might be laying eggs under my fingernails.

Alright, cool.  I thought it was, but I didn't want to just attack it and break something, especially since I'm doing the work on my car at school an hour and a half away from home.  Tomorrow morning that thing gets to die.

Thanks.
