basically just take your belts off, and get a pulley puller tool from autozone, checkers, napa, etc... You'll need to pull the power steering pulley in order to remove the pump...

I know you hafta pull the pulley. . But theres no way that you can get the puller int here to get hte pulley off. The pulleys like 10inchs long. Do i hafta take the radiator off/unbolt the engine and lift it up?

No, but you may need to drain the radiator and move some piping for room to work. No lifting is involved, or at least is not necessary.

i must have the wrong powersteering pulley puller then. Its 11inchs long. Theres no way it'd work. I have the radi drained, and the hose pulled off. at this point it'd be easier to just drop the radi, how do i go about this?? Thanks for the help guys.

yea i ended up having to pull my radiator because the tool was too long also... but my radiator is huge so I didn't know if you would run into the same problem. Just start disconnecting wires/hoses and the radiator should just lift right out
