SOURCE: How do I change the power steering pump on my 1999
first you have to remove the serpentine belt then take off the pump..
SOURCE: power steering
the power steering pump is mounted on the front of the motor, the pump has a lid which you unscrew to add fluid. if you cant find the pump follow the serpentine belt until it goes around the pump (large Pulley) with about a four or so inch long neck. Make sure you buy the fluid made for your vehicle.

you can take the power steering pump off without removing the fluid lines. Just remove the mounting bolts and push the pump aside (but don't let it tip and spill). I'm assuming you have the 3.8L engine. Instructions are pasted below.
