Hello All!

I wanted to pass on some information on rebuilding your smog pump after I
decided I'd rather attempt my own rebuild rather than pay close to $100 (or
more) for someone else's rebuild.

My buddy and I carefully pulled the pulley by threading the two holes in the
pulley to accept a puller.

We then soaked the case in carb cleaner to get rid of the funk inside.

I purchased all the bearings I needed for a total cost of $22!

Part numbers are as follows:

Front bearing 6203-2RS  (Qty 1)
Rear bearing B188  (Qty 1)
Wiper bearings BA65 (Qty 4)

The place I bought these from said the part numbers should be industry standard
(ie, you can get same bearings where ever)

The front bearing is an upgrade, as part number listed is a sealed unit, and the
one that stacked up in my pump was a shielded unit.

Pump works well, hasn't seized yet!

I hope that helps some Cruiser heads get their pumps working and can pass the
local emissions inspections.

Any questions - email me!
