You can take the pump apart, but mark things, and draw a sketch as you take it apart. I don't recommend taking the motor apart, but it can be done. If you do have to take the motor apart, there is an o'ring that in it for a seal, but it is an off the shelf part. > 4.

It does have one problem, It doe not have a built in check valve like VW pump. This means that you have to prime the system each time you start it. This could probably be fixed with an inline check valve right after the pump if it is too much of a nuisance. > 7.

I repaired mine, and it lasted for a couple months until the motor shaft broke. The motor runs, but the pump doesnt pump, and I have never bothered to tear it back apart to see what actually happened. > 8. Does anybody out there have one that works....? > I think Jim Adney said that he had some. Maybe rebuilts. Check the archives.
