#11 of 12 Auxiliary heater pump failure by Ronmay Dec 24, 2008 (1:02 pm)
My heater pump failed a few months ago. I tried finding a used pump, but they wanted $300 for a used one. I finally tore down the pump and rebuilt it myself. If the armature isn't too chewed up, just dress it down woth sandpaper. If it's too bad, have it turned at a shop. I found new brushes(slightly oversize) at Stine lumber for $6. I had to cut them down slightly with a file, but that was easy on graphite brushes. Make sure none of the segments on the armature commutator are shorted. run a thin piece of metal down each groove to remove any trash. Total cost of the job: $6.54. Ronmay
