oil pressure switch access

Post by nesty »

I need to inspect the Oil Pressure switch, (check wire, clean terminal etc), I have tinware on mine same as in the photo (know switch is on other side), is it possible to take out the bottom bolts to give a bit of access, as upper mounting look a bit difficult, I don't want to damage the tinware.

You need to remove all the bolts to do anything sensible. I was a bit concerned the first time I did mine but they came out fine. Wire brush to get of any rust first and add a bit of penetrating oil for good luck

OK thanks, I thought be a straight forward job to just check the switch connection / wire, then I remembered it's a T25! :roll:
