863 Fuel sending unit removal, Socket??

[bobcatguy]

Is there a 6 point socket used to remove the sending unit? It doesn't look like I can get a wrench in there to remove it but I can access it easily from the top but don't know what size socket if any will fit it. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Pretty sure it is 1 11/16". The new one is one size smaller, so 1 5/8". One word of warning, they can get very soft with age and break off. I once had about 3 hours in one and removed it in about 30 pieces.

1 11/16 was tight but it fit! Thanks for the help! Now I just have to figure out why I have one injector leaking at the nut that attaches the line to the injector.
