How hard to pull stock oil pan while motor is still in car? The pick up fell off and I really dont feel like pulling the motor agin, right now.

Thanks

You can do it from the bottom. You will have to jack the motor up a couple inches to wiggle the pan off. When replacing the pump think about one with a bolt on pickup or one of the pickup retainer clips summitt and all of them sell.

ya i was gonna tack it this time, i only pressed it in the first time. So it was my fault. I was just wondering how much of a P.I.A. it was.

IMO welding on an oil pump is not really a good thing. Unless it is disasembled and TIG spot welded. Better to buy a bolt on and not take a chance. Just my 2 pennies

why do you not think welding it on is a good idea?

Weld the "pick Up screen". That way it would stay this time
