the core charge was $65 so i had a spare and traded it in and did not have the new box. here is the new reman pump. i got the one for Hydro assist as it got a few more pounds of pressure

ok- to do this right you should have these flare line wrenches. you need 3/4 and 5/8 if you do not want to get a set. but they are cheap.....

you will need a pulley removal tool. i had a harbor frieht cheap one and it disapeared so i got a better one from NAPA the $82 is painfull but i use one often so for me it was worth it if you are only going to do this once or a couple times the harbor frieght $10 will do fine.

ok-it was geting cold fast and dark so i speed thru this. disconnect the return lines. i placed a drain pan below the pump then remove the pulley so you can remove the 3 front bolts.

there are 2 nuts on the back of the pump that need to come off or do like me remove the bracket===2 exhaust nuts and an alt bolt. then put the mounting bracket on the new pump (i put the pressure line on at the same time--less fighting) and install the pump. then install the pulley and then i put the return linee in a 2 litter bottle and filled the new pump to the top and ran the motor for a few seconds and repeated the fill run a few times and then instaled the return line and checked the level and topped off as needed. this was an easy job and the noises and lack of power steering is gone....
