Now before we get started let me please clarify and say that this is just to chronicle how I repaired my vehicle. I am not a mechanic. As a matter fact I am a pharmacist. I am not suggesting in any way shape or form that this is how you repair your vehicle and should you attempt this repair you do so at your own risk.

I've done this on the 3,2 and it's an absolute bastard of a job...

Lol. Sorry. Somehow I got onto a Highlander tv series rerun and ended up watching 6 in a row. God I used to love that show! |

Anyway, back at it… Next remove the air inlet hose on the airbox

Unplug the mass airflow sensor and pull off the clip that holds it to the airbox. There's also a clip that holds the battery cable on the airbox...remove that also. Then simply pull the entire airbox assembly straight up. It's held in place by rubber clips.

To create enough room to work I suggest removing the battery and the battery box. Remove the battery using a 10 mm socket releasing the battery cables negative 1st and then the holddown bracket. Then use a 9 mm socket to remove the five bolts holding down the battery box and slide the box up and out.

Now we have to get at the vacuum pump. There is a wiring harness that runs over the top of the vacuum pump. Pull right up to remove the two retaining clips. This will give you access to the AC stabilizing bracket and vacuum pump. From here you have the choice to remove the vacuum pump or not. Removing it gives you a lot more room to work on the truck and I was rebuilding mine anyway so it was a no-brainer for me to remove it. Now remove the vacuum line from the vacuum pump by squeezing the clip and pulling it with gentle pressure. Now before you get to removing the vacuum pump if you look at pic number three the ac stabilizing bracket is in the way and that keeps you from getting to one of the bolts. Remove the bracket in the next picture with a 13 mm socket and a 10 mm socket. There are three retaining bolts that you can see loose in the picture. Then use a 10 mm socket to remove the two retaining bolts.
