power steering problem...

Think the power steering is failing... much harder to turn, squeal while turning and poor response. Question is... how hard is it to replace the pump and is there any other part that might be causing this? Is there just the pump or is there another part to be replaced that I don't know about?

That sounds like it is most likly your steering pump, but there is also the steering gear box which can cause problems. The first thing you should do is flush the PS resivour and put in brand new fluid and also add some PS sealer. If that does not seem to help then your pump is most likely fried. I have not replaced one myself but I hear they are difficult. I did however replace by gear box which is not too difficult of the bolts come out.
