When I was in Tunisia, the locals preyed on tourist. I bought a brochure from a local kid, but didn't have change and the kid said he did. When I handed him my $20 he ran with it.

I was at the Roman coliseum at El Jem and saw a man with a camel, which I took a picture of. He motioned for me to give him my camera and he would take a picture of me with his camel, which I declined. He was so insistent that I relented, thinking he wouldn't run off without his camel and he was older so I figured I could out run him.

He took the picture and then held out his hand for money. I gave him money to for taking the picture and to get my camera back without assaulting him and taking it back.

Tourists are prey!

$25-50 bucks for the Special socket

problem is all my tools are in Colorado and I will need more than a socket to do the job

otherwise , I would do it

On my 2011 coupe, I had to disconnect the Pwr/Str/Pmp suction hose at the Rsv., which meant draining the PSTR oil Rsv. It needed to be changed anyway.
The Pwr/Str/Pmp pressure line must be disconnected from the pump. It has an 18MM wrench size fitting. But you will need an 18MM Crowsfoot Flarenut 3/8" drive. I could not find that size in MM so I bought a harbor freight 7PC set of SAE Crowsfoot, the 3/4" is just a little too big and the 11/16" has to be hammered on with a long drift. I was able to get the 11/16" on so I could loosen the fitting.
I also removed the clip that holds the A/C lines to the inner shock tower for more room to reach the sensor.

You will need the special Oil Pres. Swt. socket that costs $15. but you can use a 1 1/16" deep socket also.
When using the 1 1/16" deep socket to install the sensor I put some paper towels inside the deep socket so the sensor did not go into the socket too deep. it needs to have the threads sticking out so you can screw the sensor into the oil filter housing.
The special oil Pres. Swt Socket has a ridge to hold the switch from going deep into the socket.

Be careful when tightening the sensor, it has an O ring fitting. so I put some blue lock-tite on the threads and tightened the sensor to 15 Ft Lbs. (that is not very much when using 1/2" drive ratchet)

Don't forget to fill the Pwr/Str/Rsv.

Trade it in on Toyota or Lexus built in Japan and you can retire those wrenches.
