1952-59 Ford I've got to pull this plug

The over the counter temp sender I bought for my engine ('55 272) causes the temp gauge to read backwards. Is there a trick to getting the pressed-in adapter out of the old engine block (or better yet one I can purchase at a parts store) and the one in the new engine out as well? I want to put a stock sender into the new engine. Unless of course there is a newer sender that will work with the new engine without having to swap that will read correctly.


Old sender adapter plug I want to pull


To possibly remove and replace here with stock sender

You can get new bushings from the TBird suppliers. I ***ume the car parts suppliers also have them. CASCO shows them in their catalog. 55 and 56 are the same, 57 different. 800-374-0914, www.cl***ictbird.com. Part # 10911 They also have a tool for removing them.

 

Thanks Paul. It looks like I can make a puller with a washer, 1/4 in. bolt, and a socket and pull the newer adapter??
