When I turn the key on my oil pressure gauge pegs out. Looks like the oil pressure sender is on the back of the engine by the firewall. Whats the best way to get that bugger out?

First check your wiring; that usually indicates a short to ground. Start by disconnecting the sender wire (and don't let it touch ground), see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, you have a short to ground somewhere in the harness.

IIRC also if you have the wires connected backwards you'll have the same symptom...

To remove the sender, it takes a thing 17mm wrench IIRC... and short, too, to clear the firewall... but I'd suspect wiring.
