Exclamation 83 Datsun 280zx L28 Engine - Oil Pressure Sending Unit Removal

Hey everyone!
So I have a new oil pressure sending unit for my L28 (non turbo) 1983 Datsun 280zx.

I've been trying to turn that thing by hand (gloves with grip) and its just a painful and slow task.

Is there any EASIER way to remove that sending unit? either above or below the engine?

Haha! Well yeah! but how do I reach into that thing, its way in there, what's the best 'strategy' to proceed with getting that little bugger out, I used a wrench (with everything still in the engine) from the top and I swear I couldnt get it to fit for the life of me.

14mm or 12mm (cant remember) and just put it on and turn. maybe take the oil filter off for more room? they arent all that tight either
