Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My secondary air injection pump has gotten very loud. So I decided to rebuild it per the helpful instructions in this thread. https://rennlist.com/forums/rennlist...age=4&t=735878 However, the SAI pump on MY99 cars is different and I can�t figure out how to get to the bearings to clean and lube them. I have the motor out of the housing, I removed to two long bolts that hold the motor together, but I can�t get the plates off of either end of the motor. Does anyone know how to get them apart? I can�t see any tabs or screws holding them in place. All I�ve managed so far is to make a mess of carbon dust and stab my self in the hand with a screwdriver.

Put the two long screws back in about half way, and give a tap on the screws head, it should pop apart..

@Porschetech3 thanks for the suggestion. I reassembled the pump and put it back on the car before I saw this. I�ll give it a try next weekend. Do you know if the bearing will stay pressed into the plate that pops off? Also, how do you access the bearing at the other end of the motor? The side with the wires doesn�t want to let loose either.
