I should have taken a few photos. Basically, I removed the pump from the engine, turned it upside down and secured it in a vise, and then removed the bottom cover. That cover gets warped over time, and the gasket no longer seals up, thus oil pressure is lost. I used a rather crude method of taking a large file to the surface of that cover and removing material until it was flat again. I then made a new gasket, put it together and reinstalled the pump. I really don't recommend this method to someone who is not familiar with using a file because if you don't hold the file just right, you will do more damage than good. I got lucky and it worked.
