Not the whole diff, just the front 4 x 8mm bolts on the driveshaft, then lay it to one side. If you don't rotate it, it can go back exactly as it came off. It just allows you to finger start the CPS bolts instead of using several socket extensions.

There's actually 3 oil pressure switches. OBD1,OBD2 and the '00.

Cheers for that. Will keep in mind when I do it. I'll consider the cps a service item at this age

As for the headlight switch, if it is the same as the '98 there is a little button on the left hand side of the switch that you depress and the whole centre shaft comes out the front.

Awesome, cheers. Then you have to unscrew the plastic piece and release the electrical connector and drop it out... Also my car would be OBD1 yeah? It's the old style 80's interior, 2 fuel rail with 1 airbag and no abs...

" I'm led to believe its the wrong part. It is brand new and fully seated. Is there 2 different versions of this sensor?"

There's only one right part number
Can't recall the part # off the top of my head but if it was replaced with a new one, it may have been a connector or cable causeing the fault ?

The OBD2 was the first change (Single 49 psi fuel pipe) , '96 was the mishmash year between young and old parts, then mid '97 came the upgrade( spotted by the lack of 1/4 window).
Junglejuice is the guru on models and parts therein.
