318 Oil pump gear / shaft removal question
 

Hi all. I've got a '95 Grand Cherokee with the 318, and need to replace
the oil pump gear and shaft assembly. Can this be done by just removing the
distributor? If so, any tips on how to get it out?

TIA!

Curiosity is killing me, how can you tell the oil pump drive gear
failed without pulling the distributor?

Re: 318 Oil pump gear / shaft removal question
 

You can't, That's why I've pulled the distributor. The distributor is
currently out, and you can look down into the hole where the distributor was
mounted, and see the gear. What I'm trying to find out is if there is a way
to pull the gear out of the same hole the distributor came out of, without
having to pull the oilpan and oil pump.

Thanks!

I must be balanced on the oil pump and hasn't fallen into the pan,
yet. Try a magnet, remembering it when in that hole on the distributor
shaft that drives the oil pump.
