Changing an Oil Pressure Sender 4.3L

[sediver]

On my 1995 GMC Jimmy 4.3L, I need to change the oil pressure sender and I wondered is it possible to do so without removing the distributor ? I was "looking" at it today and it looks like a "bear" to get at without removing the distributor.
Thanks for your time,

You don't need to remove the distributor... Just get an oil sender socket... There are 2 sizes... Typically if you have the original sender, you will need the larger one, the new one will fit the smaller oil sender socket.. Simply put the socket over the top and use a crecent or box wrench to turn it counter clockwise.
