Replacing vacuum pump, how long?
FSM makes it look easy. I am dubious. Just remove vac line and 6 allen bolts?

One of the first things I did. Very simple, but make sure you have a new paper gasket to go between the engine and the pump.

just 6, 5mm allen bolts, dont round them out or it will be a long job... Helpful to have a long allen key cause getting a normal bit is a problem due to clearance on a few of them.
Going back on start one bolt a few turns then work the oppisite side as you will be working against the spring for the roller

Be careful on the bottom allen, its easy to strip out. When you reinstall it rotate the engine too have the "rollercoster track" VALLEYS on the timing device vertical (too take the pressure off the roller). Be sure to check the TD for lateral play also

I found it helped to remove the power steering belt.

Very easy on 61x. PB blaster ahead of time, clean the hex recesses in the caps well. A wobble 5mm doesn't hurt as you don't have a straight shot at the bottom one. Not crucial to orient the cam on the engine, just put in a couple of the screws and take it down a few turns on each side till snug, add the rest. I tightened screws on opposite sides instead of sequential to avoid puckering the shell or gasket. Suppose an angle drill or easy out if you strip a head. Angle drills cheaper at HF than a set of easy outs.

Whats the TD?
Do I need to get under the car or can all this be done from the top?

Did everything from the top. 5mm socket with extension got most. Long 5mm got the rest. In and out in 1.5 hr. Cleaned the allen bolts with a dental pick and then made sure the drivers were well seated before applying pressure. Thanks for the tip about turning the engine over (I did this anyways to make sure the drive plate wasnt fubar). Def had to take off the power steering pump belt (needed tightening anyways.
Havent taken the cover off but it looks like the check valve got sucked in. I have a rebuild kit somewhere and will rebuild the old to recoup my losses. Better safe than sorry.

You had a "rebuilt" to stick in ? good to have another on hand by rebuilding the old one

No I put a new one in. That is an excellent point tho. I have been amassing a whole car worth of spare parts.
