Is this possible to replace the oil pump by removing the oil pan? Is there a write up on this procedure. I searched but did not come up with any results. I have to replace my oil pan because I broke so figured since I'm in there I might as well throw a melling oil pump or something similar. Just wondering though if this is possible by just removing the pan and not the front cover. Thanks

no, you have to remove the crank pulley, water pump, and front cover. the oil pan is the hard part imo. what happened to your pan?

Got into a little itty bitty accident this past friday which landed me on top of a trailer full of wood etc which broke my oil pan and rack and jacked up my k member too. Lets say lesson learned and applied. Going with a tubular k member and replacing oil pan. Guessing while I'm in there I'll change out the o ring to make sure that the o ring was not the cause of my 10 psi pressure at idle. If thats not it oil pump will be swapped.

gotcha. good luck with it. it'll be easy since youre swapping the k member.

Yeah, as stated above is correct. I would replace the pump and o ring while I was in there. I would also buy a pulley installer from the tool section to reinstall the balancer.
