Title: Oil pump pickup removal.
Post by: Paul.1478 on September 05, 2020, 06:07:25 PM
I am changing the oil pan gasket due to small leak.
When I removed the oil pan the gasket that goes around the middle bolt and the oil pickup split.
So now I need to order that and remove the pickup to replace it.
Looking at the parts diagram looks as if there are 2 screws.
Anyone know how to get the screen off so I don't F that up also?

Thanks.

Paul

You have to gently pry the screen off the bottom of the oil pump.  Always good to clean out the screen - amazing how much junk they accumulate!

Cheap insurance to replace it while you have it off. You will know you have a clean one and no concerns of the screen being worn and tearing out.

Call Robert on Tuesday and he can add it to the order.
