How do you remove oil pressure switch?

I'm pretty sure it is 26mm/1 inch long socket but do you have to remove the air intake brace? The 1 inch socket I have is to thick to get past the brace. I assume a star 1 inch socket will fit without removing brace? thanks.

Air intake brace? You mean the manifold brackets? Remove them and throw away.

ok, thanks. The 27mm long socket I had actually works fine with the bracket in place.

I noticed that there was a ring of white silicone acting like a washer. Nothing on the threads. looks like the silicone the factory used.

the hole is too small for my cylinder compression gauge. I guess I could buy an adapter.

I have had the electrical connection disconnected for awhile but get no oil pressure warning light in dash.

Just get Chunk Norris to round house kick it off, but be carefull he might kick the whole intake off.

The light won't trip unless you have it connected, and have low oil pressure.

Why though are you trying to check compression through the oil pressure outlet?

Thanks. I'm checking oil pressure . I'm using the compression gauge because that is the only gauge I have other than fuel pressure gauge.
