Lol. First time my vacuum pump went I was headed straight for a brick wall. My heart skipped more than one beat while I stood on that pedal. I stopped about 6" short of hitting that wall.

It'd be worth a try. The case is still good; depends on what they replace when they reman it.

First time mine went out I was pulling the 5th wheel and my wife asked why I was almost standing up! I'm surprised Ford hasn't been sued over that darn thing.

Use the same tool you used (well, should have used) to install it.

I used the correct tool to install, problem is, its backwards, which means no lips for the puller to grab on to. I'm just using a three arm puller, pulling the thing off and getting a new pulley.

Well I've had it, only way this thing is coming off is remove half the front end. And it aint worth the time to do that, I'm cutting the pully off and buying another pump, I'm really pissed with myself about this. But let this be a lesson to anyone who may stumble on this thread in the future.
