A: The oil pump removal requires disconnecting the battery terminal first and removing the engine under cover on the right-hand side and the front wheel on the right-hand side. First drain engine oil and engine coolant then proceed to remove the fan and generator V belt. The necessary items for removal include vane pump assembly together with generator assembly, engine mounting insulator RH, ignition coil assembly, cylinder head cover sub-assembly and V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly alongside engine mounting bracket RH. Move to an operation of water pump assembly extraction while separating the crankshaft position sensor. Begin by positioning the No. 1 cylinder at TDC/compression and eliminate the crankshaft pulley along with the chain tensioner assembly No.1 followed by timing chain or belt cover sub-assembly and timing chain or belt cover oil seal and crankshaft position sensor plate No.1. First remove the chain tensioner slipper together with the chain sub-assembly before taking out the 2 bolts securing the chain vibration damper No.1. The next step is to detach the oil pump assembly by extracting its 5 bolts until the gasket on the cylinder block can be removed.
