Oil pump removal
 

I have seen threads talking about the fact they have done this. I just don't know how they did it. I took the front cover off the pump, the gears and still cannot get it out with the up oil pan craddle attached. thanks for you help

I figured it out this morning. I took the pump apart and then removed the oil pressure relief valve and then it came right out after twisting it a little.

How did you get the valve off? Im wrenching it like crazy at the bottom and its not budging?!?
