Changing the oil pump on a 1990 300te

[pinapplex]

Is it a long and painful procedure? Different mechs tell me different things, some say itīs complicated, while others tell me itīs basically just popping off the oil pan and there it is...

Would anyone care to make a comment? Thanks!

That accurate; however you do need to take the chain off and then rivet it back on. See picture below.

Just "POP" the oil pan off? LMAO

Wow...no such thing..sorry. A few months ago, I busted a hole in the oil pan of my 1990 300TE, and had to replace it. Here is the thread

If you need any help...just ask, but that thread pretty well covers what your in for.
