We don't have any information on the repair procedures and I am not sure if you are able to handle it.
When such pumps goes bad, you need to have it replaced as replacment parts for repairs might not be available.
The job should be about disconnecting wireharness, hoses and taking the assy out. Reverse procedures for installation. Top-up fluids, start engine and turn the steering a from end to end a few times and top-up fluid sgain if necessary.
