Hi Roger,
If the pump on your car is indeed a recent replacement it is very =
likely, based upon my experience with the currently available BJ8 pumps, =
that the bearing has failed.=20
Having disassembled a few of these repop pumps that have been sent to me =
as "original cores" I can confirm that these are very poorly made and it =
is amazing that they operate at all.
There is no facility for lubricating the bearing as it is a sealed unit.
If you have the original that was removed from your engine I would =
strongly recommend having it rebuilt or rebuilding it yourself as they =
are of far superior design and when correctly rebuilt last for decades.
Rebuilding instructions are here and I can supply a kit containing the =
correct parts for $68.65 including US tracked shipping although I am out =
of the country at present and would not be able to get one on its way =
until after 19 Mar.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
