Today, I began to study how I'm going to replace my timing belt and tensioner bearing. Namely, how can I replace these items in the car. As I moved over the timing cover (after removing the top 3 bolts and a center bolt - still looking for the very bottom bolt..arghhh), I discovered that the air pump belt teeth were completely gone. After removing the belt, I noticed that the air pump, although turning, seems to have friction in one spot making it hard to spin. Are these pumps repairable or do I need to get a new (rebuilt) one? Any one have a spare they would like to sell perhaps?
As an aside, it seems pretty difficult to replace the timing belt on the 128. How do you get to the crank pully or remove the bottom timing cover bolt? :wall: It almost makes me think removing the engine might be the way to go. Any help would be appreciated.
