oil pressure sending unit...... DIY?????

alright guys.... my car is giving me a little bit of problem and i've searched.... even on renntech for one of those DIY...... has anyone changed theor oil pressure sending unit yet? it doesn't look hard, just a little gold cylinder with two tab and a bolt on the bottom.... how hard is it and what will i need?
i think i can order it for about $55 on pelican...... should this be one of those, DON"T TOUCH IT and leave it up to the expert?
oh yeah, local places are charging $300 for labor and the unit.... i don't think that sounds fessible if it's something that's easy to do..... HELP PLEASE!

its a pain to get out but not bad, just breaking it loose you will need a thin crows foot
