The emissions air pump has sheared off the three little rubber donuts that hold it to the mounting bracket...the replacements came yesterday. The issue I have now is that the pump is also loose from the circular part of the bracket that holds it, and I don't see any replacements available for those parts. It is rattling to beat the band and driving me nuts.

Is there a fix aside from a new pump, and what happens if I just remove the dumb thing altogether?

 

Those rubber mounts look the same to me as the ones you already replaced. But they have a different part number.

When I searched 9186196 at rockauto, a 'uro parts' replacement came up and I got those. They also have a 1275534 version, I'm glad to see that so I can get them when mine break.

Yup, I ordered them. My local dealer set me up on a wholesale account so I bought them from them.

 

Just got done changing out the six rubber donuts...3 on the bracket to the body, 3 on the pump itself. They seem flimsy and awfully flexible, but we will see how it holds up.
