[Healeys] Oil Pump Removal with Engine in Car

It was the 2nd paragraph of Section A.8 (2) that raised the question ".
driveshaft will be free to disengage from the camshaft and care must be
taken to prevent it falling out."

 

I'm fitting an AH Spares alloy sump and need to modify the pump.

 

Thanks.

That's an interesting question...and I'm not 100% sure why one might want to
do it.

I swapped my pump quite recently, 2018, because I found a Denis Welch pump
going very cheaply on eBay.

I don't recall every moment, but I surely don't recall any problem
extracting or replacing the pump drive shaft. And I don't recall any reason
why there would be.

See the attached, which you've probably already got.

The only way that occurs to me to achieve your actual aim might be to turn
the car upside down!!

But, good luck anyway,

Simon

Planning to remove the oil pump from my 100-6 while the engine remains in
the car. Any suggestions on how to retain the pump drive shaft in place?

 

Thanks.
