IO360 -A1A oil line trouble

I have a Lyc IO360 a1a with a leaky fitting on the oil pressure sender line. Its the one behind the dynafocal mounting cup, on the accessory case. I need to know how to change this fitting. It looks like I have to remove the mount from the engine, what a bad design.
I think I can grind the fitting down and get it out and plug the hole. Where else can I pick up oil pressure? What about the front oil galley plugs, isnt this done on the new Cessnas? It will read a higher press but so what.

Thanks
 
Is this what you're talking about?

Well, you can see that I missed the note on the drawing about installing this fitting before mounting the engine. On mine there are two places you can mount the restrictor fitting. The one on the right is the one called for in the plans. The one on the left (facing directly aft) is the one I'm planning on using. My current plan is to use a straight restrictor fitting from Wicks.
