I have a 312 engine that has always leaked from the oil pump feeder tube that connects the oil pan with the oil pump. I also needed to replace the rear main seal due to leaking. So, I figured I would fix both leaks the same time. This post is regarding the replacement of the oil pump feeder tube seals. I purchased a Pro Gasket kit with the oil pan gasket and the oil pump and feeded tube gaskets.
After disconnecting the oil pump feeder tube and removing the oil pan I tried to remove the rubber gasket from the end of the feeder tube for replacement. I'm stuck because the rubber gasket has a steel sleeve that is pressed onto the tube and its replaced as a complete assembly in the gasket kit. Any suggesting as to how to replace the rubber gasket?
