Vacuum Pump Replacement
I'm in desperate need of getting my vacuum pump replaced, but I can't get the pulley off the pump to remove the bolts. Any ideas on what it takes to remove it? I'm currently getting maybe one good pump of the brakes before the lack of vacuum renders my brake booster useless. Thanks

Its a '94. It too had 3 bolts, but after backing them most of the way you back right into the pulley. I had read in previous post that you need a certain type of puller to get it off without damaging it.

You need a power steering pump pulley puller. Some part houses will let you change it there or rent the tool to you. Or go buy one from a discount place like Harbor Frieght. This is a power steering pump but same pricipal.

Here's a link for another style. To install just use a long bolt with a nut and washer to push it back on the new pump.
