Removing an oil pump shaft involves a careful step-by-step approach, as it's a critical part of your engine's lubrication system. Here's how you can do it safely and effectively:
Preparation First
Start by ensuring the engine is cool and safely supported. Disconnect the battery to avoid any accidental startups. Drain the engine oil to prevent spills when accessing the oil pump.
Access the Oil Pump
Depending on your engine type, you’ll likely need to remove the oil pan to get to the pump. This may involve unbolting several components like crossmembers or exhaust parts. Be patient and organized—label your bolts and parts if needed.
Remove the Oil Pump
Once the oil pan is off, locate the oil pump. It’s usually bolted to the bottom of the engine block. Unbolt the pump carefully, and watch for any gaskets or O-rings that may come off with it. Keep these parts intact if you plan to reuse them (though replacements are often recommended).
Remove the Oil Pump Shaft
With the pump out of the way, the shaft should now be accessible. Depending on the engine, the shaft might be held in place by a retaining clip, gear, or a simple slip fit. Gently wiggle or slide the shaft out. If it’s stuck, avoid using excessive force—check for hidden clips or debris that might be holding it.
Inspect and Clean
Once removed, inspect the shaft for wear, scoring, or damage. Clean the area thoroughly before installing a new shaft or reassembling the components.

Why is your Oil pump not pumping oil?
The oil pump is driven by the distributor shaft, with an intermediate shaft in between. There is a plastic coupler between the oil pump shaft and intermediate shaft. You could take out the distributor and put an oil pump primer shaft down in there and spin it with a drill to see if it's all connected and working properly. If no oil pressure with a drill, the problem could be that the pickup tube has broken or fallen off the oil pump or the bolt that holds the oil pump to the rear main cap is loose (not common).
