How to remove and install the oil pump on 2012 Ford Fusion?

Question

Accepted Answer

On 3.5L engines, the procedure can only be performed with the engine removed; it is assumed that the engine has been taken out, and irrelevant steps should be disregarded. Begin by removing the oil pan, oil screen, and pick-up tube assembly. Next, take off the timing chain cover, timing chains, and crankshaft sprockets. For 2.7L engines, slowly rotate the oil pump drive chain tensioner counterclockwise until a small drill bit or Allen wrench can be inserted through both holes in the tensioner to lock it against the spring. Remove the four oil pump mounting bolts while supporting the rear of the pump, then lower the rear of the oil pump until the oil pump sprocket can be lifted out of the chain and from the vehicle. For 3.0L and 3.5L engines, loosen each of the four oil pump mounting bolts one turn (three bolts on 3.5L engines), then gradually and evenly loosen each bolt in several steps. Once all bolts are loose, remove them and the oil pump, rotating the oil pump housing clockwise on 3.5L engines to separate it from the oil pickup tube. Remove the oil pump cover from the oil pump body, noting any identification marks on the rotors before withdrawing them from the pump body. Clean and dry the components thoroughly, inspecting the rotors for wear or damage; if any rotor, the pump body, or the cover is scored or damaged, the complete oil pump assembly must be replaced. If the components are acceptable, dip the rotors in clean engine oil and install them into the pump body with identification marks positioned as noted during disassembly, then install the cover and tighten the screws securely. Before installing the oil pump, pour a couple of tablespoons of engine oil into it and rotate the pump sprocket by hand to prime the pump. For the 2.7L engine, place the sprocket back into the chain, raise the rear of the pump, and install the mounting bolts, tightening them evenly. For 3.0L and 3.5L engines, rotate the oil pump inner rotor to align with the flats on the crankshaft, install the oil pump over the crankshaft, and fit it firmly against the cylinder block, rotating the pump assembly counterclockwise on 3.5L engines to seat it against the oil pickup tube's O-ring. Install the oil pump bolts and tighten them by hand until snug, then gradually and evenly tighten in a criss-cross pattern. Finally, install the remainder of the components in reverse order of removal, fill the engine with fresh oil, install a new oil filter, start the engine, and check for leaks.
