Basically, remove the belt, disconnect the hoses, and unbolt it. Reverse order to replace. Once the new one is on, it will need bled. Lift the front of the vehicle safely. Fill the new pump with fluid and with the engine off, turn the steering all the way left to right. Do this until the pump gets low and refill it. Continue doing it until the level no longer drops. The system should be bleed. Lower the vehicle and start it. Make sure it is working properly and recheck the fluid after you shut the engine.

Let me know if you have other questions.
