[Tigers] Oil Pressure Hose/Fitting

[Richard Bruner]

I bought a new oil line, but have been struggling for several weeks trying
to get it installed.  Having big hands and not being able to see
anything behind the instrument panel due to all of the
wiring/clutter/steering column does not help matters.

 

I tried removing the oil pressure gauge from the instrument panel, but one
of the gauge bracket studs just spins, so I can’t get the knurled nut
off.  Apparently, removing the gauge is not an option.

 

I read where many people recommend just removing the instrument panel for
access.  Does anyone have step by step instructions on the best way
to do this?  Funny how something so simple can turn into a major
stumbling block...
