Thanks, that's great info.

I had considered swapping the oil pump housing from the 98 to the 97. Might still do. But it's an entire assembly -- unfortunately that little cover panel of interest is not a separate thing!

If you don't see another way to get the line out other than force, maybe I'll try that, see if the plastic clip breaks, and see if the plug would go in and seal it or not. Worst case: swap the whole oil pump housing as mentioned. Some else said to me "just weld it closed". Maybe...

In my web search results, I found your post where you had removed a 98+ oil pump / housing -- sounds like that was not hard to do. Do you still have that item to sell, if it's worth considering for this job?

I've had one in sitting a box for a few years. I'll find it tomorrow and make sure it looks good. I pulled it off a 2001 2.7L engine, but pretty sure it fits the same.
