As a veteran of taurus power steering hell, what exactly is your problem?
If you don't have a puller, you can pull the pump off with the bracket
But you will then have to have the pulley taken off at the parts store.
Where is it leaking? You can replace the gasket on the plastic reservoirs.
(Large O ring about 3" in diameter or so). The low side hose sometimes leaks
at the crimp. You either have to replace the whole hose ($$) or grind the
crimp off and put on a short length of hose. You can put new o rings on the
high
side fitting (at least i did on my 90). You need to know where its leaking
first.
The hoses by the rack are gross leakers too. I had the high side large hose
by the rack weep only under turning pressure. You might have to degrease
all the hoses clean and then look for fresh leaks to determine where its
leaking. Don't be too quick to replace the pump for a leak.
Harbor Freight does sell cheapo pulley pullers if you want to buy one.
Not a high end tool, but i used one on mine. Good luck.
