Remove and replace power steering pump

OK you know the problem but is it something as simple as replacing the Power steering hose or as complicated as also needing a new power steering pump also? Look at where its leaking to determine what needs replacing. Remember it just takes a little time to determine where its leaking. If you find that its not the hose leaking but its the power steering pump then follow these easy steps and save $100s doing it yourself:
1 Remove the negative battery cable with a wrench and place it aside. Remove the upper strut housing tie bar if necessary for access. Remove the power steering serpentine drive belt and electrical plug on the TFE off as applicable. Remove the lower bolt from the mounting bracket using a socket and ratchet if necessary for access. Take off the inlet and outlet hoses from the power steering pump. Remove the reservoir hose only on the supercharged engine. You will need a flat-head screwdriver for this task.
2 Place the power steering pump pulley so the bolts can be accessed through the hole in it. Remove the mounting bolts, using a socket and ratchet, through the hole in the pulley. Take the power-steering assembly out from the bracket. If necessary transfer the pulley to the new pump with a pulley puller.
3 Replace the power steering pulley assembly before you install the pump using the pulley-install tool from your kit. Start the power steering inlet hose connection to the pump by hand. Replace the power steering pump assembly to the engine. Replace the lower bolt first, making sure the hose and heater pipe have enough clearance so they do not touch. If the two rub together they will make noise after the installation is finished. Replace the outlet hose to the pump, directing the hose under the engine harness and the heater hose. If the engine is supercharged it will be necessary to connect the hose from the reservoir.
4 Torque the power steering gear inlet hose to 20 foot-pounds and the hose clamp at the pump to 15 inch-pounds. Torque the pump mounting bolts to 20 foot-pounds. If equipped with a TFE pump, attach the connection. Replace the power steering drive belt or serpentine belt if you removed either. Replace the upper strut tie bar and torque the nuts to 18 foot-pounds. Replace the negative battery cable and fill the power steering reservoir with fluid. Bleed the steering system by starting the engine and turning the steering wheel right and left until all the air is out.

before start job suction out power steering fluid out of pump using large sirenge or siphon pump then.you need a table vise and two pieces of wood.okay to remove power steering pump. you need to disconnect the ground cable.remove air intake duct.remove the pulley cover.remove the drive belt.disconnect power steering pump switch connector.disconnect the pressure hose and the suction hose from the power steering pump.cover power steering hose and pipe keep getting trash dirt and debris.remove the installation bolt of the power steering pump bracket.place the oil pump bracket in a vise btween two pieces of wood keep from damaging bracket and remove the two bolts from the front side of the pump.remove bolt from rear side of the oil pump.disassemble the oil pump and the bracket by inserting flat tip screw driver.to install tighten oil pump to bracket bolts 12 ft lbs. tighten the bolt from the rear side of the oil pump to 27 ft lbs.tighten steering hose eye bolts to 30 ft lbs.replace fluid bleed air out power steering system.

Tighten to 34-46 Nm (26-33 ft. lbs.). NOTE: Swivel or end play of the power steering pressure hose end is normal and does not indicate a loose fitting.
   5. Place the power steering pump pulley on the power steering pump shaft and install Power Steering Pump Pulley Replacer T91P-3A733-A. The small diameter threads on the tool should be engaged in the power steering pump shaft. CAUTION: Do not apply in and out pressure on the shaft. Pressure will damage the internal rotating group.
   6. Hold the small hex-head and rotate the tool nut clockwise to install the power steering pump pulley on the shaft. CAUTION: Do not apply in and out pressure on the shaft. Pressure will damage the internal rotating group. NOTE: The power steering pump pulley face must be flush within 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) of the end of the pump shaft.
   7. Remove the Power Steering Pump Pulley Replacer T91P-3A733-A.
