i can explain it, been a while since i did 3 on my car...sorry if i miss a step,
going to need to aquire a power steering pulley puller tool apulley installer kit, (autozone/advance), and a drain pain, and want to place a plastic bag/cover over the alternator so the fluid doesnt leak on it and mess up the brushes (thatd be alternator #s 1 and 2 for me lol)

remove the accessory belt

pull the pulley off

place pan underneath car under pump

remove PS lines, one is held on with a cheasy spring clamp (ideal to replace with a worm clamp), the others a fitting around the back of it, might be tight

remove the 3 bolts holding the pump to the bracket

fanangle the pump out and put the new one in reversing removal procedure

dont forget to take the bag off the alternator before starting, hope i helped

almost forgot, when you put the hi side fitting back into the new pump, make sure theres a new o-ring on it, getting a leak from that is unpleasant, and it wouldnt be a bad idea to flush the PS system while the lines are off and use fresh fluid
