Oil pressure sending switch ?

I apparently broke mine during tranny removal, I have the old one out but I was wondering what is the best method for installing one? I know I could get it in fairly easy now with the tranny off but I am afraid I would break it again installing the tranny. Anyone have a good way to install it from the top? I can get it in the hole and everything, just wondering the best way to tighten it. It is a 1 1\16 inch and that is a big wrench to try and get in there.

There is just enough room to get at it with a ratchet and oil pressure sensor socket from the side behind the EGR valve.

No EGR anymore so I am good there.
Can I get a oil pressure sending socket at Sears, does Craftsman make one?
Thanks Shoe.

Not sure Sears will have one, but your local auto chain store will. If you have a deep 1-1/16" 6 point socket, it may work (a 12 point socket won't, because of the special rounded edges of the sensor). Not having the EGR will definitely aide you in being able to see.
