vaccum pump
 

so ive got the common oil leak at the vaccum pump. just wondering how hard it is to remove and to rebuild. would appericate any help thanks

I just did this about 6 months ago. I pulled the PS pump along with it. Seemed easier but the PS lines did not come off very easily. I went ahead and cut them and there is enough to do that and get them back on OK. But they are very tough stiff lines and if I were to do another one I would go upstream and break a connection instead of doing the cut business. There is a support bracket on the back of one of them and there is the vacuum pump oil line that also needs to be removed. It is tight but very doable. If you pull both it is easier to get to the steering box to check the adjustment per the FSM. Mine was way out of whack and that adjustment, a new poly track bar bushing on the axle end and a set of very stiff side wall E rated tires made it drive like new again. Now would also be a very good time to pull the radiator and make sure the fins are all nice and clean.

Pretty simple as stated above, you can buy a rebuild kit from genos garage for like $60 that comes with two seals and two o-rings in case you mess one up during reinstall, also comes with all the right size pipe for removing and reassembly written directions and a cd..:tu:

I picked up the one from goulds reccommended here and it was sweet!! had a dvd with it all the parts necessary and also came with 2 sets of o-rings... An extremely well put together kit..

Yep the Gould kit is what you get from geno's, same kit

Look on ebay for a rebuild kit. It aint that hard to get out. Remove battery & air intake pipe before you start. Repair manual will explain the rest.
