"The something I imagine is way too long to stuff in there without trimming - something like a #4 easy out. Just armchair mechanics mind you, but I figure I'd be cutting the sharp end off the easy out and probably expending several carbide dremel wheels in the process, so I'd have to be real finicky about knowing where to cut it relative to the ID of the chunk of sender in there and the depth to the closed end. Then I'd hope it was short enough to get between head and firewall without trimming the other end and having to use a vise grip on the hardened smooth OD of the easyout. I'm pretty certain this sender would be made of soft metal. "

That was my thought too. Trim some kind of ez out to get in there, then using a wrench to turn the ez out. There is not much room between the head and firewall. Agreed, it looks like the sender is soft metal, brass variety.

thanks again

Luke
