I took out the vacuum pump on my 1982 300d turbo. I purchased a rebuild
kit for it and I am trying to rebuild it.
what I've doen so far:
I removed the pump from the car and bolted it to a board with a socket
under the lever to release the spring. I then removed the cover and
cleaned off the oil and removed the 3 one way valves and the O-rings. I
also removed the bolt holding the disc on but I am having some trouble
getting the piston off (not sure its correct name). Is there a trick to
remove the piston? Are there any other tricks to the rebuild?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link, I was trying to view this page on the baylor
website
<http://business.baylor.edu/Richard_Easley/mercedes/welcome.html>
yesterday but the page could not be found, dead link?
I got the pump rebuilt and put back in the car last night, I'll put the
power steering pump back in and see if the rebuild works.
