200Tdi skew gear

Does anyone know if i can remove the vacuum pump and skew gear from the block and then re-fit it without disturbing the oil pump?

There's an oil leak from either the vacuum pump gasket or the skew gear to block o ring. I've previously squirted some gasket goo under the skew gear flange but it's leaking again so this time the gear housing is coming out for a proper fix. But if the oil pump has to be removed first then it's a sump off job which I haven't time for at the moment so will be left till next time I change the oil.

Thanks in advance

Just an update on the oil leak / skew gear removal.

I pulled the vacuum pump out and the skew gear came with it, but I think I've found the cause of the leak. The O rings in the skew gear shaft and the housing were hard as plastic and shattered when prised out with a screwdriver. The bearing in the housing was also running rough.

So with new bearing and O rings fitted and a bit of trial and error it went back in. Bolted up the vacuum pump with a new gasket and so far it seems to be oil tight.
