The only effective way to reach it is to attack it from underneath. First thing you need to do is locate the belt tensioner, located just above the Power Steering pump. Put a 15mm ratchet on this and torque it clockwise, which will loosen the tension off the serpentine belt, enabling you to remove it. Once the belt is off you need to remove the hoses; there are three of them. Two of them, the line leading from the tank, and the reinforced supply line, are attached with hose clamps. The third one is secured into the pump with a threaded end. Disconnect these and seal off the ends to prevent contamination. Once the hoses are loosened there are three bolts that secure the pump to the bracket. The two underneath the pulley are just bolts that need removed, and the one on the back of the pump is a nut (Note: In order to get the pump out it is necessary to loosen the rear bracket.) In order to make room to remove the pump the crank pulley and the plastic dust shield should be removed off the van. The pump is sold with or without the reservior. Usually it is not much more to get the reservior already attached, and will save a great deal of time and energy. The pulley is put on using a specialized tool, and requires one to remove it. DO NOT strike it with a hammer, or bang on it in any other way. If you do not have a tool to pull it, many auto parts stores will pull it off the old one and put it on the new pump for free (AutoZone and Advanced Auto both do this.) Then putting the new pump on is simple: just reverse the previous steps.
