The piston shaft threads stripped, the nut worked down the shaft until it broke the vacuum pump cover.

Repair required locating a used pump at the local salvage yard.

The only other option was to buy a new vacuum pump.

I will add more pictures later.
Seems too be the season for V/P failure. Those inline filters seem like a great idea. I'm going too buy a sack of them and put them on all my cars.

Have you ever had too replace that bushing on the intermediate shaft ?
