I would change both, and I don't remember it being at all difficult.

Many just replace the gasket, or you could change both as suggested above.
IIRC, the coupling is a pain in the backside to remove on the pipe. Removal other than that is easy, and easy access, replace fixings and torque to WSM specs.  ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

it may be the single seal behind the pulley on the vacuum pump itself - new one is modified and has a double seal

Seal failure tends to blow oil all over the engine bay and is fairly unmistakable.

Yes, it's what I thought, it's not the case here, just a small-ish oil leak underneath the vacuum pump.
Nevertheless I ordered a new pump, gasket and ancillary belt, while at it... “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique. -- 2009 2.4 Puma Defender 90 SW 1979 Land Rover Series 3 88" |

By undoing the brass nut (in yellow) below? Or how...
I removed the old pump by undoing the brass nut to disconnect the vacuum pipe, but then there is a new brass nut already in place on the new pump, so I am not sure I did right... Should I just remove the new one and refit the old brass nut connected to the vacuum pipe? “A Land Rover immobilized is a moral defeat for the driver and bad publicity for the vehicle, […] it's up to you to do justice to your Land Rover!” - Land Rover Driving Technique. -- 2009 2.4 Puma Defender 90 SW 1979 Land Rover Series 3 88" |

The nut stays in place. You fiddle about with the collar that is round the pipe where it emerges from the nut, and after a while the pipe miraculously comes free, even though you're not really sure what you did.
At least that is how it was for me. |
