Oil pressure sender filter-couldn't find it

[alvocado]

I replaced my oil pressure sender this evening on my 2011 Yukon and could not see or feel the filter. I did not remove the intake so I was poking around with a finger and using a small mirror against the firewall. I eventually gave up and installed the new sensor without removing and cleaning the filter. 

 

How deep are these filters and what's the trick for pulling them out?

they are just under the sender.  what engine do you have?

The 5.3L. I had limited sight with the mirror and if there are tabs to grab, I must have missed them.

Now, wait a minute! My 06 5.3 oil pressure sending unit had a screen inside it, you could see the screen by looking at the bottom of the unit. Now according to the above later engines have a seperate filter outside the unit? Anyone got part number for this filter?
