How do I replace my oil pump in a 1997 Chevy Monte Carlo?

Question

Please help, I have gotten all but the 2 bolts out. They are under the body and I need to know the best most effect way to remove them without lifting the engine? Hurry

Answer 1

On some vehicles,,the emgine needs to be lifted,,so the oil pan can be taken off.
If this is the case with your car,,then your going to have to raise the engine,,by disconnecting the motor mounts,,or at least one of them.
Once you have the oil pan removed,,it is pretty straight forward,,,two bolts hold the pump to the underside of the engine block,,,remove the bolts,,,then remove the old pump,,,and replace with the new pump.
torque the bolts down correctly,,and then replace the oil pan with a new gasket.
refill with oil,,and your done.
Double check everything,,and then start her up.

Answer 2

dude, jack up the mill till the pan will clear every thing, brace every thing up sturdy and remove the pan.
gasket cement helps hold the new gasket till you het the pan back in and bolts up through there.
short cutts and being in a hurry will cause possable damages and injurys. do it slow and proper the first time out.
