Replaced my factory pump at 155k miles with one from the parts store. 10k miles later and a month over the 1yr warranty period it started to come apart.
I should see what a Ford unit costs as the first one lasted rather well.

you could swap to hydroboost brakes and ditch the vac pump for an electrical just to run your heater controls,but that requires hundreds of course.not a good reason to avoid getting bad vac pumps lol but if a brake upgrade was desired anyway,perhaps before spending the $ on another vac pump..........

Pulley pulls and presses on. Rent puller from parts store. Don't forget to place bolts before pushing the pulley back on.
