Help! with vacuum pump

If anyone can give me a little help here I would appreciate it. My vacuum pump went bad yesterday and I picked up a new one this morning. It did not come with a new pulley. I need to take the old one off the old pump and put it on the new one. Is it pressed on? I thought I would ask before I screwed it up. I was thinking of going to the nearest auto shop to see if they would swap the pulley around. Any suggestions? The snow is on the way and I need to have this truck ready to plow.Thanks Bill.

The pulley must be pulled off and pressed on correctly or you can destroy the new pump. Call the store you got it from see if they have the tools, call any autozone for help too.

I found a guy around the corner, at a body shop, that hooked me up. He had the snap on puller and the press and was happy to help. In about 10 minutes I was back under the hood and a few minutes later I was back on the road. Just waitin on the snow now. Thanks for your help. Bill
