Is it possible to put the pump and then the pan back together without locking the pump through the hole?
Thanks, Conrad
Yes, the paper is just a tiny piece (size of little fingernail) as a wedge shim and it keeps the oil pump up until the pan is back in place. It is held in place until you remove the pump again.
