Ha ha ha good luck with that. If your pump isn't locked up you have more luck than I do.

 

i'm the king of doing that btw, i had one i put together and forgot the little holder on the shaft.

 

if you are going to try it without replacing the pump (i wouldnt) then go with a motorsports aftermarket one and not another stocker. good luck.

 

Well... I did... And they were smashed to pieces.

Got the new shaft in (it was like surgery trying to fish that bitch into the pump through the dist hole while sticking a long "needle" type object to hold it down while I pulled the magnetic stick off.)

Got the drill on it (and by no means is it a weak drill. It's a high torque plug-in, industrial drill) and it won't budge in either direction.

Time for a high volume OP.

I still haven't decided how I'm going to "attack" the job of the swapping the pump. I really don't feel like yanking out the motor.

 

i can be done in car no problem you dont have to lower the k frame good luck tell us what in side it

 

That on the back, take the pan off thing sounds like a pain in the ass! Buy a quarter barrel, invite all your friends over and have that thing out and in, in an evening...

 

I don't know about you but when I have more than one person helping me yank a motor shit gets lost. Tools/parts/hardware/etc. Even then I only trust a certain few people to work on my car with me.

I'm definately going to try to yank the motor up as far as possible without disconnecting it from the trans.

 

To bad you don't know anyone with a lift.......

 

 

pulling the motor is easy. You dont it enough times, 2 hours tops. Dont froget a good oil pangasket not the cheap one
