The pump its self is only held on with a few bolts just undo them.
Now remove all the pipes that are attached to the pump. ( clamp the pipe that leads to the Power Steering fluid reservoir or you will have a mess! )
now refit in reverse order!
Basically if you remember how you got it off it should go back on.
If you want to use fresh fluid which is advisable as it only costs a few quid carefully undo the pipe with the clamp on into a suitable container and then once reassembled refill from the reservoir.
Now turn your pump by hand a few times to make sure you have fluid in it before you replace the drive belts.
Note do not over tighten the belt this can lead to straining of the pump bearings.
This job took me about 45 min and saved me about 100 quid.
The pump cost me 80 quid but you can prob find cheaper pumps.
Good luck
