Since I only removed the lower oil pan I was under impression that that oil pump and chain wouldn't be accessible. But now looking at the pictures online I wonder if the oil pump cover can be removed then exposing the pump itself and the chain without removing the upper pan?

Also a fair point. I had to recheck this, and in fact it was in park! I put it to neutral and tried to turn the engine but it's still completely stuck.
