It is behind the primary timing chain tensioner (crankshaft driven). You
need to remove balancer, oil pan and pickup tube, timing chain cover, chains
and tensioners, and then the bolts that secure it.
Once it's removed, measure the cover flatness, inner/outer rotor thickness,
and the clearance in between and over the pump rotors. Lemme know what they
come up with.
No, it's not an easy job and it's definitely not something I'd recommend be
done by a person with minimal mechanical experience.

Subject: DML: 4.7L oil pump?
Exactly where is the oil pump located on the 4.7L? From looking at my
FSM, it doesn't say or show or I just missed it. But it sounds like its
on front end of the crank. If so, what route is taken to get to it?
Sounds like it take the remove of the water pump and timing chain
assemblies. If so what a pain in the ass!
I'm not have any issues it mine. It was brought up elsewhere.
