I found it difficult just to swing the spanner in order to refit the pump and tighten the six bolts.

I had the benefit of having a motor on the work bench to find the best combination of sockets and extensions to use.

The gasket between the pump and the block should be the thick one to stop the plunger bottoming out inside the end plate of the vacuum pump, or use two thin ones.
