How-To remove oil pump. "Is this correct?"

[Divenut]

Hi,

Let me start be saying, "Yes..I am paranoid about screwing up first Mopar."

OK, need to replace the oil pick-up tube on my 340. A FABO member (thanks again 1968FormulaS340 ) indicated that I just had to pull the oil pump to do that. Seems straight forward, but just want to make sure I am clear on the process.

- The 2 bolts circled in Yellow seem to be what's holding the pump housing in place...correct?

- Need to back out the four bolts (circled in White) holding the windage tray in place to gain access to one of the two bolts.

- Unscrew the existing pick-up tube and screw in the new pick-up. Make sure pickup sreen sits nice and close to the bottom of th epan.

- prime the pump and reinstall.

Am I on the right track here?

Thanks as always,
Pat

Got more pics? That looks like new teflon tape on the pick-up.

Yes, you are on the right path. Directions are good.

I kinda of thought so too...haven't poked around yet though. Guessing one wouldn't what teflon tape floating around eh?

Thanks for affirming that. Me and my daughters will be attacking it once the new pick-up arrives. :smile:

I am replacing the leaking "deep" pan (below) with a stock pan. The pickup is about 2" too long.
