Ben, it takes less time to remove the pump.
Piece of cake on the serpentine belt Classic or D1. Let me see if I can reproduce it from memory:
- Loosen the bolts holding the pulley to the pump (10mm hex).
- Remove the serpentine belt (it sometimes makes things easier to remove the clutch and fan) (15mm long box wrench or ratchet to relieve tension on the tensioner).
- Undo high-pressure hose from the steering box and low pressure hose from reservoir (can't remember which - either 9/16 or 5/8 flare nut wrench).
- Remove the pulley.
- The pump is held to its bracket by the front plate (don't remember how many bolts - most should be half-inch or 13mm hex bolts, couple of them -are long going all the way to the head), and back plate (10 mm head bolts - you'll need a socket with extension to get them out).
- Then, the pump is in your hands - clamp it in the vise and unbolt the high-pressure hose.
