most important is to have a correct fitting screwdriver, if then doing as Simon has said, and you still cannot get them,

then do the same again except with vice grips around the shaft of the screw driver.

Thanks guys for all the tips, will give it another crack tonight.

Mafia - I did actually try freezing the whole thing, sounds like I got it around the wrong way! Will try the heat option.

:cheers:

need the correct sized screw driver, a way of holding the oil pump so it wont move. pref horizontally, then lean into it with your body weight and try and crack it.

avoid using an impack screw driver thats for sure

Why would you avoid using impact screwdriver I used to be a engine rebuilder and using a impact screwdriver is the only way using heat warps the housing which is a good idea

Had the same problem, use an impact screw driver....

Or what I did was vice the pump, got the correct size driver with a large ring spanner on the handle for leverage,

Then turned it while a mate pushed down and located the screw driver so it doesn't strip out

ive pulled plenty of oil pumps apart none of which have needed heat or an impact screwdriver. i'd say avoid an impact scredriver cause an oil pump is a fairly sensitive thing in a weakish housing.. some people are too heavy handed and too much potential to f**k it up

I pulled apart plent without needing an impact screw driver lol

purchase a screw driver with a hex style shank so that you can fit a spanner on the shaft.

place screwdriver end into screw, give the screw a couple of love taps to shock the thread,

Then use the spanner on your screwdriver to crack that bad boy

^^ yep, thats what worked for me, once u round off those heads on the screws then its in the bin it goes

You really need a degree in the bachelor of arts thumbsup.gif

If your having so much trouble undoing them with the correct size screw driver, it sounds like its been pulled apart and had the screws loctited previously. They really arn't that hard to remove at all.

As said before though, hex shanked screwdriver.

Sit it outside on a stinking hot day, use gloves to handle it and then do as above^^^^ the extra heat works. If its winter use an oven on low around 50'C and try it.

A bit of low heat will let you undo the impossible.

Well I finally got around to giving it another crack. Used my impact driver and they came out easily haha. Thanks for all the input :)

Also suprised to confirm that Neo's come with an N1 pump as standard.

And at least I know its not one of the Chinese copies!

yeah i mentioned that in another thread as i discovered it not long ago. N1 pumps stronger then people think too...

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
