What model of car? Is the sender alalog or electrical? For the electric
ones you usually just use a socket and a BFW. for the analog unit with the
tube attached you need to use a flare nut wrench, and accept no
substitutes. The thin wall brass female threaded nut is very easy to crush
with an open end wrench. Oh yeah, use a little Busty or PB Blaster, and
have some patience if it doesn't give up right away. It is not a pleasant
task having to drill those things out without damaging the sealing seat
just behind the thread.
