October 20, 200718 yr Can you do the o-rings in an EA82 without having to do the belts? Sure, you take the belts off, remove the oil pump, and have at it, rebuilding it, putting a new "mickey mouse gasket", and put back what ever belts you choose. BUT: it's not like those belts cost a whole lot, and say they have 40,000 on them, you might as well?
October 20, 200718 yr Belts rarely show any wear before failure. They always look "great" till they snap in half. It's not the rubber that fails - it's the internal wire's that hold the rubber together. GD
October 20, 200718 yr Author Thats what i figured..i will do them if i have to go that far. I didnt know if i could just pull the pump off by itself..thanks.
October 21, 200718 yr oil pump is driven by the timing belt, so the belts have to be removed, no way around it.
