Just finished stripping my 360. Can't seem to easily remove the oil pump drive shaft and cog. Can't see whats holding it in place. And yes, I did take the camshaft out

I think they just lift out whether the cam is in place or not don't they?

Thats what I thought. Maybe its a bit sticky. Looked as if the oil hadn't been changed in years.

Probably easier with the cam in as you get a big screwdriver in the slot and twist it out. Sometimes the bottom end of the shaft gets crudded up and it's a pita to get it through the bushing.

Well you can always take the oil pump off and knock it out from the other end!
