hi, is it possible to replace oil pump without removing engine from car?
tq

yes, you can remove the sump after blocking the engine up on the mounts..

You can take the sump off too without getting the motor higher...in the gap at the front when all the pan bolts are out you can remove the two 12mm bolts holding the oil pickup in the sump & manoeuvre it out. Same goes for the sump if the crank is turned so the lobes are left/right instead of hanging down.
Then you'd get free run at the pump.

thanks guys, will try it this weekend :)
