Oil Pump Gear Change In Car ????

[Department Of Boost]

I couldn't find anything with a search. I suck at searching.

I've done this one a 3v, but I have a Coyote to do and it's kicking my butt a bit.

I'm ready to pull the inboard pickup tube bolt, but I have no idea how I will be able to get it back in. The Yote has a bib cast into the pan right next to the bolt that the 3v doesn't. That rib is the problem.

Has anyone done this on a Yote? What's the trick to getting that bolt back in?

Thanks

I fabricated a fork like piece out of aluminum to hold the bolt in place while I turned it with one finger. That worked. I also put down some plastic into the oil pan opening in case I dropped the bolt. There's a thread on here with instructions and pics. Try looking a little harder.

Or just search the web and it might point you to the right link.

Yup. Stuff a rag in there for when you drop it. I heated and custom bent a boxed end wrench for the task.

Plenty of info out there. The "rib" you speak of is the windage tray oil pan gasket.

Flex head 10mm ratcheting wrench is needed.

When I did mine I did all of the above things in various forms. take your time also.
