It looks like I may need to change the oil pump in my '87 2.9L 4X4 Ranger, and I have read here in the forums that it may be necessary to pull the engine to change it. I had an '88 2.3L 2X4 Ranger that I was able to raise off the mounts far enough to stick in a 4X4 block on both sides of the block and barely get the pump out, so I'm hoping to not have to actually pull the engine (and trans).
Am I correct in assuming that being a 4X4 makes it more difficult?
