Remove the little round drive peg before checking for ease of fitment and rotation.
Personally I'd probably start by removing the oil pump body, cleaning it all, checking the shaft for free rotation in the body and no damage on the inside mating surfaces where the pump gears run, then check for free movement (but no play) in the bushed hole in the cases. If all seems fine, refit the pump body according to the process outlined in one of the manuals ... there might even be instructions in a thread somewhere on here.
Very simple mechanism, should be easy peasy if everything is straight and surfaces/contact areas/bushes are smooth.
