Hi,
To remove the oil pump, the oil pan, pick-up tube, and oil pump screen must be removed. Also, to access the pump itself, the timing chain cover and chains need to be removed. The pump is driven from the crankshaft. I attached an exploded view below.
Also, since this is AWD, if I recall, there is not enough room to lower the pan. You may have to remove the front axle assembly.
Let me know if this helps or if you have questions.
Take care,
Joe
