Default Bad Oil Sending Unit C5

Anyone know where I can see a video of doing a cutout under the wiper blades to get to the unit?

Thanks

There's a vid floating on here with a guy doing it with the intake on and no hack in the cowl. Do a search for it.

Yes, I know. I've seen your responses before, a man of no short cuts and just do it right. I can respect that, but for me in this case I'm looking for an ready, "easier" way. And you are a wealth of knowledge.
