so i was changing the oil and i went to put the new filter on and i stripped the whole nut thingy on the oil pump. so i took it off and noticed that the oil filter was threaded wrong. do i have to buy a whole new oil pump thing or can i replace just that one piece that the oil filter screws onto?

Sorry buddy, but your going to end up replacing that pump.
Now, are you sure you messed up the thread on the pump? That seems pretty hard to me. Go get the right filter and try putting it on. I would think you would mess up the threads on your filter long before the ones on the pump.
If you did mess up the threads on the pump it wouldn't be all that great of an idea rethreading it since it's something that gets removed and replaced constantly I would think.

ya the first 1/4 of the threads on the pump are basically gone, looks like im going to have to replace it. i called a hyundai dealership they said it would be around $1000 to get a new pump and install. sad.gif

There has to be an easier/cheaper fix. Hopefully others will chime in soon on this. If it's just a 1/4 of the threads I take back what I said about rethreading it, give it a shot... although getting to it to rethread would be a b!tch.

i bought a bunch from NAPA and all the other ones fit perfect and they all have the same #'s so im pretty sure i have the right filter. the guy i talked to at hyundai said that basically the only thing i could do was by a whole new setup. jeez hopefully someones knows another alternative

why not simply retread the first 1/4"... i'm sure you'l lhave enough good tread after that to hold the filter
much cheaper and much simplier

I vote to try a rethread. The filter already sits crooked right? It's not like it will make it worse. The worst thing that will happen is that it won't work and you'll have to by a new oil pump, but you are already there...so why not give it a shot????
