1. Open the hood.

Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery.
3. Remove the oil pan from the engine block. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement .

5. Remove the oil pump from the crankshaft rear bearing cap.

Important: When installing the oil pump, always replace the retainer between the oil pump and the shaft.

1. Install the oil pump to the crankshaft rear bearing cap.

•	Align the slot in the oil pump shaft with the tang on the distributor shaft.

•	The oil pump should slide easily into place.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important: Make sure that the oil pump assembly is installed properly in to the engine before tightening the mounting bolts.
