Good afternoon to all, I would like to know of any tricks to get the oil pump pick up tube removed from the engine. I have teh oil pan off and the pick up tube looks clogged and want to remove it to try and clean it. the engine itself is spotless I just picked up this car and the owner told me it was a remanufactored block which it looks like zero miles on the enging but the oil pick up screen is filthy and looks clogged so I want to remove it and clean it. Any help would be great. Thanks Ron |

Turn the tube counterclockwise. Be prepared to rotate the crank to clear the tube. |

Hit it with a rubber mallet. Counter clock-wise. |
