Could anyone give detailed instructions on how to replace the oil pump in my 1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue?

Question

My mechanice diagnosed that I need a new oil pump. I am quite experience in fixing car parts and will like to do this repair myself once I know how. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

First go here;

Enter Year, Make, Model and Engine.

Click link for "Engine And Engine Overhaul".

In the box to the right are links for "Oil Pump", "Timing Chain Front Cover And Seal", "Crankshaft Balancer" and others you might need.

If you have the 3.8L it's moderately difficult, and requires only some basic specialty tools. If you have the 3.5L motor, that job is pretty advanced, and requires some more exotic tools. Read through the procedures very thoroughly, and make sure you want to try this before you start. Some things that can be screwed up would be extremely costly to repair.
