Replacing oil pressure switch

Has anyone ever replaced on on 03-06 sedan?

I broken my sensor during a front differential drain/full on my 06x

Got a new pressure switch. Put car up on lift and could not figure out how to get at this to remove it? It's very tight and putting a wrench on it leaves you at an awkward angle where it slips.

Any tips?

I need to replace my oil cooler o-ring as well. So next oil change I may remove the cooler, and see if that gives me more room.

Thanks. That helps with the cooler o-ring.

Couldn't see if i could access the low oil pressure switch, so i'll just need to wait and see if removal of the cooler gives me better access.

On the RWD models it's right next to the oil filter.

On the AWD models, it's screwed in behind the oil cooler. You need to remove the oil cooler to get access to it. I just used a large wrench to unscrew it at that point. It's metric, but I used a large SAE wrench (all I had) and it came out easily.
