Need help removing oil pressure sender switch.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I searched the forums, re-read my ProMini gauge instructions, purchased several sizes of deep set 12 pt sockets and nothing fits the oil pressure sender. 27MM, 1 1/16", 1", - nothing fits ...........................
Is there anything different about the 2002 MCS that might relate to this? I'm starting to think its the dreaded Goldilocks Syndrome. Anybody have any suggestions?

A 27mm oil pressure sender socket works on my 04 S.

I used a 1 1/16" on my o2 S last night and it worked fine. (I didn't have a 27mm).

That's the killer. I have a 27mm and a 1 1/16" and both are too large. I will order a new sender so I won't have to worry about any damage when removing the old one. Put some epoxy putty in the 27mm, press in on the sender and let it set. Should come out.............
