This job is best done by a professional, but if you are up for the challenge it really isn't that bad of a job. Start by removing the serpentine belt, use a serpentine belt tensioner tool to release the pressure on the belt and remove from the vehicle. under the vehicle remove the large hose to the pump from the fluid reservoir to drain the fluid. next a line wrench crows foot tool on a three foot 3/8 drive extension works well for removing the pressure line from the pump (this takes some time). next remove the 3 pump mounting bolts with the same 3ft. 3/8 extension and a 10mm swivel head socket. The best access to the bolts is with left front tire removed and look above and below the frame rail for best access to the bolts. Sometimes moving the plastic intermediate shaft knuckle shield at the steering gear up the intermediate shaft helps. there will be one bolt on top and two on the bottom of the pump. Sometimes there is a 4th mounting bolt (top front of pump) and cannot be removed until the pressure hose is removed. pump should now be able to be removed from vehicle. Now with pump lightly clamped in a shop vise the pulley is removed with a power steering pulley remover tool kit. The pulley is tightly pressed on and the use of an appropriate tool kit is necessary (kits are available from most major tool dealers) universal kits provide the tools for installing the pulley back on to the new pump. Once the pulley is pressed back on to the new pump exact reverse of the removal process is used to reinstall the pump. refill the fluid reservoir with mercon 5 automatic Transmission Fluid. if fluid is aerated after fluid level is adjusted to proper level the air can be removed with a vacuum applied to the reservoir at the fill cap. apply 15 in. hg of vacuum and turn steering wheel from lock to lock ten times without holding steering wheel at either lock position for more than a second to avoid damage to new pump. repeat process until air is drawn from system. (Usually 1-2 times)

I suggest getting a new power steering pump. If your truck has a hydroboost set up, which it probably does being its a F350, The power steering pump supplies fluid to the steering box and the brakes for more braking power. To find this out, look at your power steering pump. There should be 3 hoses coming out of it. One Supply line, and 2 Return lines. The supply line should go to the steering box, then to the hydroboost which is on the firewall, driver side. It's not huge like the vacuum boosters. Then there should be one return line coming from the booster to the pump and one from the steering box going back to the pump. I hope this helps you out.
