how to gut smog pump

There's a few bolts and dowel pins that hold the front and rear parts of the case together. Mine was a little hard to knock apart, and when I got the case seperated, I had to shear the little vanes inside to get the thing completely apart. There are three vanes I think, and they oscillate to pump the air. You have to break them to get the pump completely apart, then get the little pieces out of the vane "holder". After that, I just re-greased the bearings and slapped it back together. It was really pretty simple, just took a while to figure out how to break the vanes. They're a glass-impregnated plastic that's tougher than Kelsey's nuts... I used a couple punches and chisels and a good hammer to knock them all apart. Only thing other than that was that I eliminated the little plastic impeller behind the pulley too. Good luck!
