Oil Pressure Switch Socket?
Im installing a greddy kit and im tryin to get the oil pressure switch off.... i we to auto zone and bought a oil pressure switch tool that fits 2 sizes 1" and 1-1/16" and when i try to use it wont grab to where i can take the switch off (im guessing because the second sized is to deep in the socket to grab). So whats the proper size tool to take it off so i can run and get it tomorrow

Be sure to use Teflon tape/paste in the proper fashion on the threads.
