rayban1 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I have a 86 gl hatch 1.8L, trying to remove the oil pump. Have removed the 4 10mm bolts, pump rotates slightly but won't give. Am i missing something. Thanks Ray....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nope - 4 bolts, rotate and pull. DO NOT pry hard on it. You will break the housing. Some people have found it neccesary to loosen the block half bolts in the vicinity of the oil pump. I've never had to do this - just rotate back and forth as you pull - sometimes I will pry VERY GENTLY as I rotate. It helps to have the oil filter still attached as a lever for rotating it. It's just bound up with oil varnish. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 give it a lil tappy poo with a dead blow hammer. what ever you do, do NOT stick a screw driver in there and try to pry it out that way. you take a major chance on ************ing up the mating surface and then the pump will never seal up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayban1 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Also leaving the oil filter on to help rotate was helpful , thanks again....Rayban1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
