The hole that it goes into in the new pump is just smooth, so im assumeing its just pressed in.. But I still cant get it out.. I tried hammering on it with some steel dowel but it was just destroying it.89SX funtop! Fully loaded!

It is just a pressed fit. I think that I used a flat end round punch and a little heat to help coax mine out when I replaced the oil pump. I never was able to get the dipstick tube fully seated in the new oil pump and just adjusted my dipstick reading accordingly.1991 L 408,000 miles+ w/NEW B3 longblock!!

Tough to get out! They really get seized in there. Heat helps a little, but the oil burning off makes it even worse! I had to use Vise Grips/Hammer twisting/pounding upward on my 2 crate engines. Only thing worse was getting the threaded sleeve for the oil filter off/on.
Much luck and patience
