roger.svoboda Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 junkyard or try and fix the one you have. it is a small dc motor driving a vane pump. Body held together with tabs. Bend the tabs up and you can loosen the armature enough to get some electro cleaner in there. Usually the motor will work but too full of dirt to turn. DON'T JUST PULL IT APART. There are two small wires about the diameter of frog hair running from the armature but there is enough slack to loosen things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Not cheap but still available new. http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/z/0110.asp Rebuilding is a PITA but given the prices above worth the effort. Mine use to leak, but I sealed it up with external weatherstrip adheasive some 15 years ago. Still working. You could also swap in a set up from another vehicle.

GrayZee Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Unless you are worried about originality... You can always buy a universal one that just goes in the hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I think ill go universal because its just to pass the Provincial inspection and its can be usefull for bugs in the summer . I thought i could get one to fit the original spot on the fluid tank but hey at that price it can go to hell . Thanks guys ! Edit : motorsports has it for 98.99 $ but still too expensive .
