Rb26dett Oil Pump Removal

[shaund]

Hi Guys,

As some of you may be aware from a couple of my previous posts, I'm currently doing an engine swap on my R32 GT-R. I want to take off the oil pump to inspect it and see firstly what I've got (N1 or standard) as well as the condition its in.

So far I've removed all the bolts and the oil seal from the pump. I get the impression that the inner gear of the pump is press fit on the shaft and may be caught on the plate at the rear of the pump.

It has been suggested to me by my mechanic that we may need to remove the sump to get it out.

Can anyone confirm what is required to get the pump off?

I've looked in the workshop manual and they don't specifically mention that you need to take the sump off, however its in the same section as' removing the sump' is in.

Cheers!

Your mechanic is right.

Yep sump off, very easy when you have the engine on a stand ..
