How do you remove a broken oil pressure switch?

I have a 95 toyota tercel and the oil pressure sending unit broke off at the threads in the block...Sigh.....Ive tried a tap set but i still cant get it to budge! What other options do i have to get that outta there? Does anyone also know about how much a shop will charge to remove? Thanks In Advance!How do you remove a broken oil pressure switch?
Use an ';easy out'; There are a lot of choices here the least expensive is a torx socket, drive the correct size torx into the center of the oil pressure switches center (oil) hole and back it out, it usually isn't seized just overtightened.How do you remove a broken oil pressure switch?
Dang Dang Dang.......Man..... you are going to need a service shop.





I mean next to pulling the motor..... just so you can have room to drill it out and re-tap or EZ-out the the threads......I'm not sure what other options you can do.





And I have no idea as far as cost.





Sorry .......tough break you got there





You may get lucky and find a person in your area on Craigslist who might be able to do it .
Well you can saw it off but you would need to put new threads back on by a specialist.
