    Have issue with brake and fuel filler neck

    Vaccum Pump Pulley Removal

    Thanks for the replies, will have to check to see if the old pulley has a lip on it so the tool can catch it and pull it off. Napa had one that I found on their website.http://www.napaprolink.com/detail.aspx?R=BK_7769253_0006392273#. I dont know if Napa lets you rent it like autozone or what.

    I have a 1985 Ford diesel with the c-6 trans that I bought about 3 months ago. I haven't drove it too much due to the price of diesel but just last week the brake pedal got really hard to push. Notice that vacuum was leaking on the two hose on top of the VRV so put two little clamps on them but...
