  1. Prime the oil pump assembly. Submerge the oil pump in a container with clean motor oil. Rotate the oil pump hex drive by hand until the oil begins to flow from the oil pump assembly. Clean the excess motor oil from the outside of the oil pump assembly.
    2. NOTE: When servicing the oil pump assembly, always replace the retainer between the oil pump hex drive and the oil pump.
  2. Install a new retainer between the oil pump and the hex drive shaft. Align the extension shaft with the drive shaft to the oil pump drive gear. The oil pump should slide easily into place, do not force the oil pump into place. Install the oil pump and the extension shaft to the crankshaft rear bearing cap.
  3. Install the oil pump mounting bolts to the oil pump. Tighten the bolts to specifications. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Install the oil pan to the engine block. See OIL PAN .
