you screw them into the pan rail (5/16th's NC).removing the plug on the side of the block and using a piece of whittled wood to wedge the pump in place works too,avoid the desire to screw something in the hole,unless you buy the tool from the vendors. With the pan off,clean the oil pump screen,and if you feel ambitious check the main and rod bearings
