Hi:

The hardest thing to deal with is the lack of space to work in. No special tools are needed. It's just a matter of removing the belt, both the high and low pressure lines, and unbolting the old pump and reversing the process.

If you have any specific questions or run into trouble, let me know and I'll try to help via this web page.

I have the pump on & working fine except... the car is now hard to steer & I understand that is because the power steering system needs to be bled... how do I do that?
