Nate,
I don't doubt that you and Bogey (and likely others) have performed this procedure without removing the oil filter assembly. There's just some variable in the equation that's not being accounted for. About the only thing I can think of is: The first time I attempted to remove the IP was on my '79 SD. After that time, when pulling the IP from, for instance, the engine I'm putting in the Jeep (an '82), or one from a salvage yard, I always just removed the filter assembly as a matter of course, without even trying to remove the IP first. Perhaps the 5-cylinder pumps were changed at some point after my '79 was made, making it just short enough to remove it with removing much else. Or, maybe the filter assembly itself was altered. I dunno, just guessing....
And you'd think someone has proudly posted a video online somewhere of their ownself doing it....
