Did your vacuum
pump stop making vacuum? If the bearings are not noisy, you are probably
better off keeping your OEM drive assembly and just replacing the
vacuum pump POD. The great majority of the time, the only thing that
goes wrong with the OEM pumps is that the rubber diaphragm in the POD
section tears causing a low / no vacuum scenario. The OEM drive
assemblies are more reliable than the aftermarket replacements, so for
long term reliability and cost savings we recommend replacing just the
POD where possible.
Replacing the POD is very easy, requiring only removing (4) 10mm head
bolts. Please be aware that the drive assembly contains oil for
lubrication. It is important not to lose that oil during the process of
changing the POD. Just keep the POD up and the drive down to prevent the
oil from running out. To make installing the POD easier you can rotate
the pulley to put the cam that drives the POD at its lowest position so
it is not pushing up on the POD. It takes only a few minutes to swap the
vacuum pump POD.
