I'm reinstalling oil pan and oil inlet tube to oil pump. The gasket kit I bought has a new seal for the inlet tube connection to the oil pump. I can see the old seal inside the oil pump. No idea how old it is but it appears to be in good shape. Since I have a new seal I might as well use it. Questions:
1. Will the old seal come out without a special tool?
2. Do thread the tube through the seal before inserting into the pump, or do I insert the seal into the pump first?
3. The shop manual says to install oil pan first, then the tube into the oil pump. By leaving the tube connection at the oil pan loose will thee be enough wiggle room to insert into the oil pump?
