Pack the pump with grease or do like I do. Pull cam sensor, get a long flathead driver bit and drill, turn oil pump shaft with drill until prime.

There's a tool for, basically a steel rod about 14" long, that one end seats on the oil pump shaft and the other you attach a drill motor. I think I got mine from Poston years ago, so I'm sure someone still has them.

EDIT: THE BOTTOM ONE.

If you can't get ahold of one of the other tools, I used a very long 5/8" spade bit, that I chopped down to eliminate all the sharp bits, it worked WONDERFUL.

Rent a tool at local auto parts store. Pay for it, use it, return it and then get your money back.
