Take it to a garage, it's a nightmare. Entire front subframe has to be removed, big job. If the rack is trashed aswell as the pump then you're looking at silly money to repair it - I had 2 garages knock back the repair of mine for it being too costly in both parts and labour unless you can source a second hand pump/rack - there's three pumps to choose from dependant on the rack.

The crank sensor for a Vauxhall Zafira is not located in the fuel pump, as is normally expected; instead, the crank sensor in a Vauxhall Zafira is found on the bell housing, situated so that the end of the sensor almost sits against the flywheel.
The power steering issue in a Vauxhall Vectra 1.9 SRI could be due to several factors, including low power steering fluid levels, a failing power steering pump, or a malfunctioning steering rack. Electrical issues, such as a faulty power steering motor or wiring problems, can also lead to intermittent power steering failure. Additionally, a worn or damaged belt driving the power steering pump might cause the system to lose assistance. Regular maintenance and prompt diagnosis of these components are essential to resolve the issue.
A power steering pumps as much as the power steering pump can pump.
Remove the power steering pump hose. Remove the power steering pump belt. Remove the power steering pump retaining bolts. The power steering pump will come off.
bit of a nightmare to get to, the reservoir is on top of the power steering pump which is located behind the bumper on the o/s/f corner
