Well you might have taking sometime and put more thought into the problem.

Note that you need to make sure you have clearance between the Hood and the Sending Unit.

Notice the Oil Pressure Sending Unit in My Pic. It has a male spade connector end on it.

when I change the Filter I simply disconnect the Spade connector and remove the Lid normally.

The elbow Fitting in the pic is connected to a Hose going to my Bypass Oil Filter. I made the Hose long enough so that the Oil Filter Cap/Lid can still be lifted off.
The same could be done with the Wires going to the Sending Unit. Just make the Wires long enough that you can pull off the Oil Filter Cap/Lid with out disconnecting anything.

If the Oil Pressure sending unit uses a Nut and Stud it is easy enough to install Spade or other types of Electrical Connectors somewhere along the Wires so you can pull them apart/disconnect them.
