2000 Lexus RX 300 Replacing power steering pump

Steering problem
2000 Lexus RX 300 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 108000 miles

I have a small leak around the power steering pump. Is this something I can replace myself? Also, what about remanufactured pumps, are these ok to use?

Most all replacement pumps are remanufactured. They aren't the most reliable but they are pretty much the standard for that situation.

This one isn't real difficult because the pulley is bolted on and not pressed on so you shouldn't need a puller.
