Remove oil pan
You will have to drop the oil pan to access
Good question. I'm looking for a way to prime the pump before initial start-up of a Pontiac 350 that has sat for years. If, I were to have to change the pump, I would be looking at safely removing the oil pan, first
All car engines have an oil pump.
You will need to drain the oil from your 1997 Pontiac Grand Am oil pan. Remove the oil pan retaining bolts. Remove the oil pump retaining bolts. Reverse the process to install the new oil pump.
the oil pump is located inside the oil pan housing.
Remove the oil pan, unbolt the pump, install the new pump,the pump drive is off the bottom of the distributor and must be aligned to go in properly.
