Melling recommends replacing the shaft whenever a new oil pump is installed, since the original shaft can suffer hidden damage from fatigue, cracking, or twisting. This shaft uses stress proof steel and follows standard replacement specifications for dependable service in domestic and import applications. It is a practical choice for Ford Ranger and Ford Bronco II oil pump repair work where the correct shaft length and diameter matter. The IS128 part number is also cross-referenced to DIS-128 and E6TZ-6A618-A for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a worn or damaged oil pump drive shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompleting an oil pump replacement with a new shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing shaft twisting or cracking found during teardown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper oil pump drive engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify shaft length and diameter before installation.
