I cant get my oil pump off the engine block


Recommended Posts

Look at your new pump and double check all the bolts.  It's sealed on with RTV or the Subaru sealant and you have to pop it off.  Look at the bottom of the pump.  The 2 round extensions on the casting extended below the block.  You can take a large pry bar or wood board and put it between those and the oil pan and pop the pump forward.  Again check all the bolts first!  

Make sure you check and lock tight the oil pump rear cover screws if you are reusing the pump.  Change the seal, Subaru recommended and get the oring seal.  The one between the block and pump.  I use Gray RTV to seal the pump on.  Subaru does have a specific sealant to use.
