Hi everyone, just a quick question regarding the air pump, can it be rebuilt? what parts would be required and where can the parts be sourced?

I attempted this. The bearings are not unusual but getting it apart and together isn't easy.
In an odd bit of sanity, I removed the pump vanes, which were noisy, then lubed and re-assembled it. Nice and quiet. Had removed the air injection piping anyways. Now it tensions the belt.
If you don't have vehicle inspection and testing you might consider it.
