87 toyota camry question on how to change the power steering pump?

[hardyrxp]

Hello I have a 4 cylinder manual 87 Toyota Camry. Can anyone help me obtain and thread, website, or info on how to change the power steering pump on this vehicle. The Haynes manual does not give specific or good instructions on how to change it. Perhaps someone on here knows and has done it and could share more info about it thanks for any help.

It is best to remove pump with hoses attached to it
-syphon the fluid from power steering reservoir
remove larger hose from the tank
locate high pressure hose to line connection on the firewall near the wiper motor
Using 2 large wrenches 17 and 22 (I believe) separate this connection
Put car on the stands
Remove suspension crossmember
loose the bolts and remove drive belt (my special wrench can be helpful)
undo the bolts attaching pump to the engine bracket
disconnect 2 vacuum hoses
pull the pump down and remove it from under the car; clamp it in the vise
tansfer hoses and vac switch to the new pump
