I'm not planning to use my 11 year old folding spare tire or pay for the price of a new one, but I would like to get my OEM 12V air compressor working.
Has anybody ever taken apart or rebuilt one of these?
 
Ok I took mine apart. it was solid rusted thru. I mean I banged it with a hammer to release it from its rusted bond, with no luck.

the gasket inside the pump was gone, and there was no fixing it. without juryrigging it I said forget it.

so I went to Pep Boys and bought this emergency trunk kit, came with towing ropes, fix-a flat, saftey blanket, flash light,mini fire Extinguisher, screwdriver, plyers,
flares, triangle road sign, and best of all an almost replica of my OEM tire pump. and it all came in a nice zipper case with velcro on the bottom so it sticks to the NSX carpet in the back never slides around. for 49 Bucks.

done and sold.
 
Another option is to get one from another NSX owner trying to lighten up his car. That's what I did. 20 bucks.
Besides checking the Parts-for-sale section, go to a local meet and ask around.
 
Ive got one i could test it and sell it to you if desired pm me if interrsted
