captainkettel Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Does anyone know of a trick to get the oil pump off. Have everything loose and the oil pump shaft is sticking in the cam. Removed all 4 bolts and can wiggle the pump up and down (shaft turning) but can't seem to break her loose. Though I might use a slide hammer with a small nylon strap around the pump and oil filter assembly. Unless some has a tip for me. Any help out there? This is on a 1978 EA71 1600 motor. Checked in my factory manual but they don't mention anything about the pump possibably sticking. Thanks...Dennis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Tap it around the edge with a wood or plastic mallet.Tap it clockwise,or counter-clockwise,then it'll loosen up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
