Hi,

This isn't too bad of a job. The worst part is the lack of room and the number of things that need to be removed.

If you look below, I attached the removal and installation directions specific to this vehicle. Also, in some cases, the new pump will not come with a pulley, and you will need to reuse the old one.

If the pulley has been on two pumps already, it should be replaced. If the pump is original, you are able to reuse it. Note that the pulley will require a special pulley to remove. Most parts stores will lend one to you.

Take a look through the directions and let me know if you have questions. Also, the last two pics are the directions for removing the pulley (if needed).

Let me know if this helps and how things turn out for you. Additionally, if you have questions, let me know.

Take care,

Joe
