replacing 3VZ-FE power steering pump

[mazdaverx7]

im getting ready to replace the power steering pump on my 92 xle. are there any tips before i get into this job. i've read the haynes manual and its pretty non descriptive. im worried about jacking up the fittings when i try to back them out. other than that, it looks pretty accesible once the fender liner is removed. so, any tips or suggestions?

The top hose (high pressure hose) on the pump has a big banjo bolt. Use a breaker bar with a long extension or a air impact wrench if you have one.

Bottom hose is just a slip on with a clamp.

Make sure you loosen up both bolts on the pump before you slide it foward. Otherwise it won't move. Remove the belt, the 2 bolts, then the pump.
