Power Steering pump replacement -- QUESTION...

Any thoughts on how to get the vacum plug thing out of the power streering pump thing without a vice? This thing is stick solid...It is regular threading isn't it?

Yeah, I think it is just screwed in. Mine swivels pretty easily--probably becuase I've got leaking PS fluid all over it. Would PB blaster work on it? Just a though.

If the pump isn't wining it is more than likely not bad. If it is just leaking the seal rebuild kit is $20 and takes no more than 20 mins to do.
