I believe in most all cases the oil pump is a replace type part as opposed to a repair part.
Just any normally equipped tool box or tool kit will have most items you will need, and I strongly recommend while at the parts store getting the oil pump, gasket kit, replacement oil and filter, you pick up a Haynes or Chiltons manual for your specific model car.
To pump oil around the engine where it is needed.

Located in the oil pan
Depends whats wrong. Is there oil in the pump? Does the pump need to be replaced? If so, just remove the belt and change the pump.
A new central locking pump is needed.
With aditional lubrification oil pump or injector
probably the oil pressure switch . is a very simple fix it looks almost like spark-plug and is located near the oil filter .If this dose not fix the problem then it may b the oil pump.
What steps are needed to change a high pressure oil pump ona 03 6.0
Low oil pressure meaning detective oil pump end result engine is toast rebuild needed
check inertia switch and reset if needed if that doesnt fix it check fuses and relays and if they are ok get a new pump
The pump is in the oil pan. You will need a book in order to time the engine when you are done. The new oil pump will probably not fix your oil pressure problem. Try thick oil (5w30 is way too thin, 20w50 is OK in high mileage cars). If the oil pressure is still very low, you should plan on an engine rebuild.
where's the leak at?
