Guess I should have asked this BEFORE I removed the oil pan baffel plate to get at the sludge in the bottom of the pan. Took a little prying on the oil pump side but it finally poped out of the grooves in the side of the pan.

Got to checking out Les Andrews repair manual and he makes no mention as being able to remove it. Looks like it will just pop back in place.

Am I wrong in assuming this is a removable piece? or did I screw up some tollerances? I wanted to make sure I got all of the pieces on the oil pump spring that was broken up.

Thanks
