I think it is easier to buy a new one (i.e. I actually bought the remanufactured one from NAPA) with the reservoir attached. My pressure hose failed so I replaced that while I was in there too. I bought some hydraulic hose pretty cheap locally and replaced the return hose as well. My car has the power steering cooler so it is a little tight getting those hoses on. It is a little expensive, but I would also recommend getting a Turn One pulley. They look cool and they make the pump install easier. Lastly, it is hard to keep the fluid off of the alternator. I covered the alternator with a rag.

Let's try to put questions about external parts in the external sections please. I'll go ahead and move this over.
