03 Oil Pump Pins

[mtnance]

I can't find where, but I thought I read that these pins causing a misaligned pump can be removed and the cover reinstalled, assisting in a proper alignment? Did I read this right? Is it truly a possible thing to do?

Plus: Have to replace heater blower, making a vibration, is there anything to watch out for?

Look at the posts on oil pump/ pressure problem, there is an interesting article about this issue.

How hard was it to remove them?
Also did you see any signs of damage?

The point is, it may not be a pin problem. You need to read the earlier comprehensive post on Oil pump pressure problems.
