Leybold Trivac D8B

We need a roughing pump for our turbos. I bought this unit a while ago, and it works, but it also makes funny noises.

Plan

It needs to be opened up. I may have to fabricate and/or purchase some new parts to get it back to a more usable state.

Teardown

It sure has a lot of gubbins!

Rebuild

• 
  First and second stage vanes
• 
  First stage vane in pump module segment
• 
  Original busted gasket and temporary laser cut silicone replacement
• 
  Freshly polished gasket surfaces of pump main mount and housing
