if you got the type with no screws , you just push down and twist it in that kina motion

sort of ......

You don't twist the sender itself, there is a retaining ring that you have to rotate anti-clockwise if i remember correctly. there should be 2/3 little tabs on it that you can knock it around with, be careful not to break them off though as the ring can be quite stubborn to get moving sometimes.

All I'm gonna say is good luck then! give it a good soak with some penetrating oil etc.

Please make sure your replacement is going to fit before butchering the existing one out. I'd hate your replacement to turn out to be the screw down type !

Maybe someone has managed to get a twist one out without buggering it up
