I recently bought a 2002 Intrepid that needs a new Power Steering Pump, can someone give me any ideas on how I would go about replacing it the simplest way Possible?

*lossen mounting and pivot bolts
*remove belt
*take off pulley if you have to swap it (likely a lefty bolt, brace pulley w/ screwdriver through hole against engine body)
*disconect hoses (manuals generally say something bout taking off high pressure hose first, but I didn't know that when i took off the one i replaced, so i don't think it matters, but it should be the smaller one/one not appearing to directly enter the main body of the pump)
*remove pump from mount
*go backwards to reinstal
*fill resevoiur, turn on car, let run, turn full left and right a few times then readjust level and you should be done.

that's how i did it anyway... turned out fine.
