Oil pressure switch removal

[patto07]

Could anyone give me any tips on how to remove the oil pressure sensor, I need to replace it because its leaking. Does the bit where the wires are attached just pull off or is there clips too, I tried to just pull it but it wouldn't budge. Would a deep socket be needed to get to undo the nut. Is anyone knows the socket size of the nut too. Thank you

Hang on there is a pressure switch (low oil pressure warning) and an oil level sensor which gives the oil level on the dash when you start the car. I made the mistake with the Williams Clio the level sensor is beside the oil filter and I broke the wires with oil filter strap tool when changing the filter.

It's to the left of the oil filter and it's leaking pretty bad

Order a new switch first then you will know the socket size that does not look like oil to me but yea oil pressure switch
