Any time you have a threaded shaft with a hole in the middle, torque to spec is a got to do. The 2 types of things I make sure to torque are brake caliper banjo bolts and pressure sensors. Neither of these do you want to leak or break.When I hit 70 years old {72 now}, I started loosing some muscle mass, so now to be sure I'm tight enough, I torque damn near everything. WHICH MAY BE A GOOD THING. {That I torque everything, not the getting old part, that sucks}

Thank you for this video!!! I was able to fix mine because of it! 2007 Chevy Avalanche LT with the 5.3L Vortec V8. Wow though, this is a hell of a job to do. It took me 3 attempts to get it and a lot of swearing. There is literally no room back there. Though it would be easier if you disconnect the fuel line(which I did not do). I actually broke the connection stem on the sensor when taking it off so that was the point of no return. You really just have to be patient and take your time with this and you will more than likely cut up your hand and bruise your arm because of the hood support there. I used the sensor socket and then a 1/2 swivel followed by a 3 inch extension and because i only have a 3/8 wrench, I had to use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter then my swivel head wrench. I when using the wrench to loosen the old part is when I snapped the sensor stem so when I put the new one on I had to use my hand on the extension to tighten as much as I could then I used the wrench to snug it. Be very careful when doing this, make sure the socket does not come up and angle or you will break it. Also fishing that damn filter out is a pain in the ass!!! Overall it was a 1.5/10 experience and I hope I never have to do it again! Sorry for the long comment.

Great job Mike. Factory manual says to pull the intake but not necessary. I always thread in an oil pressure gauge before replacing sensor just to make sure mechanical pressure is correct and that the gauge wasn’t correctly reporting low pressure

Thanks for the detailed video! I used it for reference while replacing my '03 Tahoe. I didn't have a oil pressure sensor socket, so I used a 1-1/16 deep socket. Also, the last tip about using your cell phone to video and take pics of the oil pressure sensor area helped me find it in the beginning and end when installing it. It also helped me see if I had a filter. Luckily, I didn't have one which was a plus. Seeing other videos showing them taking the manifold off was so unnecessary and added steps you don't need to do. I guess if you have gigantic hands, you would have to take this route.

He's done it that way on his own vehicles for over 55 years and no problems yet. I've done it that way on mine for over 30 years and no problems yet.

Gen 3 97-07 is faster with intake on of you have right sockets, extensions, and a universal. Gen 4 is faster by removing intake AND BOLTS. be sure you have a tool to remove the quick connect fuel line. (You may be able to lay the intake to the side with fuel line on. Did not try that, because i have the tool to disconnect the fuel line.)

I'm a DIYer with little experience. I'm trying to figure out why everyone else is saying 15 ft-lb, but you're saying 22 ft-lb. Is it to compensate for the loss in torque from the swivel socket? It looks like you're using the GearWrench X-Core pinless which the Torque Test Channel shows has a 44% loss in torque, which aligns almost perfectly with the 44% increase from 15 to 22 ft-lb.
