It's connected. AllData didn't include all of the data. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

You will now need to either hoist the engine an inch or so - or drop the differential - in order to remove the oil pan and remove the oil pickup. The oil pickup has 4 bolts - 2 on the oil pump and 2 on the brace legs that are attached to the bearing girdle rails.

Even if there was no oil pickup (and there is), the oil pan has to come off before you can remove the pump and reinstall another.

I'm curious as to why you need to remove the pump.
