#skoolie issue; hard braking after many little brake presses.
and funny noise coming from the #vacuumPump.
I had no problem diagnosing the problem. fig 1 shows the problem, a spring coming out of the top of the pump. After releasing the tension on the belt, unbolting the pump I was able to pull off the pulley.
My issue is that I saw a little rust on the shaft and corresponding rust on the pulley.

Do I need to worry about this?
Is there any tricks to getting the pulley back on the new pump?
