86subaru Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 i had to pry mine out and broke the inner part off ,had to replace the oil pump , 82 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister7 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 How many bolts did you take out? My Hayne's says there are 3, but there are really 4. The fourth bolt is hiding behind the crank pully, and is a little tricky. As soon as I took it out my oil pump fell off. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnW Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Put the oil filter back on and use it as a lever to rock the pump off. Simply twist the pump in the block by pushing the filter up and down. then when it starts turning easily pull the pump away from the block. It is VERY easy to crack the pumps inner layer.

subarunuts Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Oil pressure is VERY important to these engines, and if you value your rod bearings you'll use nothing but an OEM replacement for the oil pump. Dealer is expensive, but the OEM part can be found from discount houses. Under NO circumstances should you consider an aftermarket for the oil pump on a subaru.

Turbone Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 As far as I know, theres is no aftermarket pump for the EA81/82 cars. Bobby, what and where did you find that pump so cheap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
