Well......without fluid around the pump I am sure you didn't do it any good driving it that long. May I suggest you add some Lucas Power Steering additive and some power steering fluid to your pump, usually a 20%-80% mix. I would go heavier with a 40%-60% mix and see if your power steering unit still works. I hope you fixed the leak first before following this advice.

How to remove the power steering pulley from a Ford Aerostar?
V-e-r-y C-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-l-y. seriously, though you will need a wheel pull. You will likely have to remove the whole brace that holds the pump out from the engine. Then you will need to remove the pulley with a gear/wheel pull and press it together again when you have replaced the pump, if that's you are intending to do. It is extremely hard to use a pull while the pump is in place. Might do though...

UPDATE: (I can now answer my own question) Actually, the answer has since been discovered to be bad strut mount bearing plates (Toyota Camry). Once the strut mounts (and their bearing plates) were replaced, all has been quiet for the past 8 months. The creaking was similar to the sound of a old wooden ship in the movies (like Pirates of the Caribbean).
How do you change a power steering belt on a 2001 jeep Cherokee the belt broke?
Power steering and everything else on the Cherokee is controlled by a single serpentine belt. On the XJ (non-Grand Cherokee) the belt has a tensioner pully located under the power steering pump. The bolt on the pully must be loosened and then the long adjuster bolt (found on a 45-degree angle towards the middle of the engine) can be easily turned to move the pully and allow for slack to put on a new belt. The belt can only go one way, must touch all pullies. smoth side to smoth pullies and groved side to goroved pullies.
