There are no stock replacement parts for the FI fuel pump, and no 
rebuild kit. In general, you can take it partway apart and maybe get 
it going again, but if you need to replace any parts you're looking at 
a new pump. The one possible exception might be the 2 O-rings, 
but I don't know if you can get american sized ones that will fit in 
there.
