Air Pump issue (1 Viewer)

[Sherif6]

I have a 1985 Fj60 in Nicaragua... It is a US car but it is now in Nica. I have a problem with the Air pump. TehPower Steering Fluidleaked into it, and, well it is screwed... Now I am looking for a solution that does not involvebuy a used or new one from the US, as here they are impossible to find... (they only had Deisel engines here in those years). Well I was wondering if the Pump can be totally bypassed, at least temporarily until I can get one from the US.

Can anyone help with that issue?

Since you don't have to pass US emission testing, you don't need the air pump. An idler pulley can be used for increased reliability.
