   Its a bracket that holds it mate.. I changed mine from above the car
   
   Remove the hoses that are on top of the pump.. Think one is a 17mm spanner to loosen it ?
   
   And the other is i think is just a pair pliers and sqeeze the connecter that holds it and thier free.. Sit them out the way
   
   2 10mm bolts i think hold the bracket in place for the pump.. Take them off and the legs of the bracket come straight back the way. Unplug the power steering power socket.. Has a red pull up bracket on top and this free's the wire and then its just fighting it out of the power steering bracket.. Then just reverse for the fitting of a new one
   Thats how i got mine out.. If yours is the same lol
   
   Good Luck Man

   to bleed it, while your filling it with fluid slowly, have a mate slowly turn the steering wheel from left to right,
