I answered this one myself. You have to get a Power Steering puller, pull the pully off from the pump and take the pump out of the bracket, than you can get to the bolts that hold the steel bracket to the back of the pump. I could not find any short cuts except to take the whole thing apart, just like replacing the power steering pump.
One can replace a steering wheel by taking the top cap off, remove the screws, pull the steering off and then one can place the new steering wheels into the steering bracket.
Remove the power steering pump bracket. It can be done without dropping the rack.
You need to remove the accesory bracket from the engine. Powere steering pump, ac compressor, alternator and then the bracket. Then you can get the pump out. Not a lot of fun.

How to remove and replace a steering column on a 95 Cadillac Sedan Deville?
remove the alternator, remove mounting bolts for steering pump and position aside, remove upper engine mount bolt/nut, support engine with sling, remove the upper engine mount bracket, then finally accessory bracket. whole job with proper tools and equipment takes approx. 5 hours to do. I would not attempt to do this as a driveway repair.
On the 4-cylinder 2.0, the thermostat is located just below the water pump and above the power steering pump. To access it, you must remove the power steering pump and bracket. Leave the pump connected to the bracket. There is no need to separate them. Remove the power steering pump & bracket by first removing the belt from below. Then remove the bolt that holds the top portion of the power steering pump bracket onto the bracket that holds the water pump, A/C compressor, and alternator. It is a bit difficult to tell which bolt to remove. It is the 13mm bolt, not the 17mm. Then remove the two bolts that hold the power steering pump bracket onto the engine block. I would also remove the clamp that holds the power steering pump hoses located near the center of the car. You can leave the hoses connected and let the pump hang if you are careful. Cover the pump with a bag so that you don't get coolant on it. Remove the two bolts holding the thermostat housing in place. Make sure you have a large plastic container to catch the coolant. I wish new cars had drain plugs like the old cars. Coolant splatters everywhere. Pull the thermostat & O ring using pliers. Clean the surface and replace the thermostat and the O ring. You may have to loosen the nuts holding the power steering adjustment bracket to get the power steering pump back in place.
You just remove it from where it is located. It is located under the dashboard on the driver side of the steering column mounted to a support bracket. Very easy to do.
