You can also see in the left side of this picture that the AC bracket and idler pulley is still attached. I hadn't figured out what bolt I was missing at this point.

| After the water pump I took out the 16 or so bolts holding on the oil pan. You only need to take out the front two, but I wanted to look inside my oil pan and see if there was anything in there from the timing chain guides. | |||||||||||||||||||

| As you can see, it was a good thing I took the pan off, because it was filled with crap and broken bits of the guide. | |||||||||||||||||||

| After removing the pan, I then removed the 5 bolts holding on the oil pump. I also took out a 6th that I thought was for the oil pump but wasn't. It was a bolt holding on the timing chain cover though, so it needed to come out anyways. You can also see in the left side of this picture that the AC bracket and idler pulley is still attached.

| After getting off the pump, I then slid off the oil pump drive gear. Take note of how it is oriented when you take it off. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Below is the 'high output' vs the standard oil pump on the right. They look freakin identical to me, so I think I got ripped off on that purchase. | |||||||||||||||||||
