Hi guys, mine makes an annoying noise when engaged as well. So you guys say the rebuild kit is 250? How hard it is to rebuild it? I mean it’s pretty tight in there, so what’s the procedure?

So here in the US.....does the engine NEED the air pump? Like the original poster mentioned, can it be bypassed? I would think that would require a shorter belt or some kind of dummy pully. Can it be done?
