Good news on the pump.

I have no idea if it's needed or not. Must serve a purpose if the engineers put it on there
It keeps the nylon cord from tangling or getting damaged and also keeps grease and crap off so it doesn't mess up the mechanism. The old nylon could be brittle and if it is it will break easily so use caution. If it is the flat sort of dual pyramid shape stuff also look for divots or rough edges on the sides. If the mast sticks and the motor keeps going it usually chews a chunk out of the edges. Once the motor hits that point again the mast stops moving. I haven't found anything flexible and anywhere close to that shape to replace it.
