i wanna know how to change out my oil pump in a 4th gen...i got the cover off and teh timing belt is marked and off...im having trouble pulling the gear off (crank pulley gear) anyone got a link to a haynes manual or a DIY on how to swap out an oil pump? also, how the hell do i get this crank gear off the pump? thx

 

you take all the gears off with the crank pulley you got to take out the crank key. then just unbolt it and put the new one on.

 

j/w, are you changing yours with the motor in or out of the car??
cuz i think mine just took a **** on me

 

ive done it with the motor in the car, its kindof a pita...the innermost gear on the crank should just pull right off, try prying it. there are like 6 10mm bolts holding the pump, also the water pump has to come off i think.

just changed mine today, i had a spare crank gear, so on the 1st 1 that i took off i heated it with a tourch cause there was no way that was comin off, then i pried it off, the 2nd all i did was pry it off with a falt head screw driver. my .02

yeah i had to fight with the pin in the gear its a pain to get out. but once u get that out the gear should just slide rite out. also some of the oil pan bolts gotta come off also.

 

for those who changed one in the car: did you hafta take the PS pump, alternator, and/or a/c pump out to do the job???

 

upp

or is $450 from honda a good price for the labor?

 

i had the alternator out (its easy) and i took out my whole AC system. leave the P/S pump attached, just unbolt it and move it out of the way. cruise control's gotta go and so does that motor mount.

$450 isnt a bad price though...but id say do it yourself if you think you can

 

if i can throw a turbo kit on, i hope i'll be able to do my oil pump

 

To change the oil pump you do not need to pull the ps, alternator, but you do need to pull the oilpan off, so that you can unbolt the oil pickup. It is a pretty tedious job.

im sure youll be aight then...and yeah you gotta drop the oil pan, which means you drop the downpipe too...also pay attention to the bolts you take out, i think i remember there being a few different lengths

 

thanks everybody got this done in one day...took a while though cause the timing belt kept jumping teeth when i put it back together so i had to put it back a few teeth on the belt to compensate, it was just tedious getting it all back together to see it had jumped it and taking the cover off just to mess with the tensioner
