You have to drop the oil pan and that means raising or removing the engine. To raise the engine you have to disconnect the motor mounts. Watch the radiator hoses in case they start to deflect too much, you may need to disconnect them too. Oil pumps are seldom the cause of low oil pressure problems. It's usually caused by worn bearings. Usually you can solve a low oil pressure problem by just changing to a heavier grade oil. Switch from 5W15 to 10w30 or maybe even a 15W50 before you tear into the engine.
