replacement shaft into the closure plate to the
depth shown in Figure 10-14.

4. Remove the oil pickup by unhooking the locking
clip, and pulling it free from the oil pump body.
5. If the relief valve is like that shown in Figure
10-15, drive out the pin to remove the oil pressure
relief valve piston and spring. Refer to the
following inspection and reassembly procedures.
If the relief valve is a one-piece style, staked to
the oil pump housing (See Figure 10-16) removal
should not be attempted, nor is internal servicing
possible. If a problem with the relief valve is
encountered, the oil pump should be replaced.
Disassembly
The governor gear must be replaced once it is
removed from the closure plate.
NOTE: The governor gear is held onto the shaft by
small molded tabs in the gear. When the gear
is removed from the shaft, these tabs are
destroyed and the gear must be replaced.
Therefore, remove the gear only if absolutely
necessary.
1. Remove the regulating pin and governor gear
assembly. See Figure 10-13.
