How the heck to you fit the oil pickup onto the pump itself? It looks like it just fits on, but the fit is so snug you can't really get the thing on there, is there a special tool or something?
Did you change the oil pan????
If not should be a direct replacement.......so what other problems are you having?????
Its just a press fit.....why are you having problems?????
Just my thoughts....

No, didn't change the oil pan, have the motor torn down and didn't want to put the old pump back in. No problems really, the pump itself is a direct replacement, save for I needed to swap the drive shafts, but the new pump did not come with the pickup attached and I'm just having a time fitting it on there (it is the correct size), there's no where to grab both pieces and force them together easily. It does appear to be a press fit, I just don't have enough "press" to make them fit I guess...
