broken oil pressure sensor, help needed

[99Parker2520]

Yup... I broke my oil pressure sensor on my 06 Yamaha F250 today replacing the oil filter. Its located just to the left of the oil filter and now I need to replace it. Has anyone replaced one on these motors? How does it come out? Do I need to drain the motor oil first? Do I need any special tools. Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Got it changed out today without much trouble using a 17mm crows foot wrench, 3/8 extension and ratchet. Kind of tight spot and the new sensor was $162.00...ouch. I also purchased a Rite Fit 73mm 14 flute oil filter wrench, wish I had it a week ago. When changing your oil on a Yamaha F250, be careful of the oil pressure sensor located just left of the filter. The Rite Fit wrench is the way to go.
