SOURCE: I NEED TO REPLACE THE OIL PUMP ON MY 1998 CHRYSLER 300, HOW DO I

first of all put the car on ramps and for safety put something behind the rear wheel and then start taking the bolts out of the pan and once the bolts are out use a large rubber hammer to get the pan loose do not use anything to pry the pan off and you see your oil pump

Oil pump replacing/removal

A new oil pump for a Town and Country is only $40-50.00 to buy a new one, and the work you will do to get to it is a lot. Usually it is on the end of the crankshaft, so you get to replace the timing belt too.

ReplaceTentor pully on 1998 Town and Country

It very well could be the tensioner if it does not sit straight, or the idler pulley if the bearings have gone out, but usually 99% of the time it is the power steering pulley that is pulling out from the power steering pump, and that is usually what is causing the belt to mis-align especially at the waterpump pulley, check the alignment of that pulley very well.

Do yourself a big favor and buy a new filter, and make sure you use ATF4 transmission oil only. If you go directly to the Chrysler dealer, you will get all the right parts and fluids recommended, and probably as cheap, or cheaper than autoparts stores. I have heard and seen too many situations where it was changed with other brands of parts and oils, at a quick lube place and problems occurred, and were only cured after replacing them with filter and especially fluid from dealer. ATF4 at dealer is expensive, but doesn't need changing after, under normal driving conditions.
