Air pump/Smog pump

[2fj60]

desmog?
So this is a question for anyone, My smog pump seized last week so I went ahead and removed it took all the veins out re greased every thing blocked the two hoses and put it back on. I cant notice any difference, What I want to know is am I going to have any problems ? There is no smog laws here so ok that way. WHAT ELES DO I DO?

Why did it seize up?
If it was the bearings than you may encounter problems again.

When i desmogged mine the first time my smog pump was still turning fine. I removed the fins and it ran for years with no problem.
Now i have a smog pump eliminator pulley that i got from Fj40Jim.
He has them for sale in the vendors classifieds.

Bearings were fine, one of the fins broke off truck runs good.

Do you have pinging now that you removed the smog pump?

No pinging sounds normal...

You may wanna buy a pulley idler assy as it's just a matter of time before that pump seizes again.
