Removel of oil gear cap with no Specialty tool.

[quest49s]

I need to remove the cap on the front case behind the oil pump gears because I'm leaking oil past the threads. It needs a specialty tool to take off the plug. The plug is the one directly above the oil pump sproket. You can't order specialty tools from the dealership so I think a may be SOL. I wouldn't think autozone would carry this as a loan-a-tool because it's not something often needed. If any body has any suggestions let me know.

Thanks,

You might be able to use a disc brake piston collapsing tool if I am thinking of the same thing as you. They have some different sizes and shapes for the types of pistons you had to turn to collapse.

If you are talking about what I think you are, use a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, just like you would when removing your fuel pump.
