Default HOW do i remove power steering pump?

ok well my power steering is leaking a lot..

but yea its common for all sc400

ive been searching a lot of other sites tut and stuff like that .. good information.. but i was wondering..

off lexls.com it says that part number....
"The part # for LS400's is 04446-50011 or 04446-30171 depending on your year,"

off planet soarer is says that..
"toyota dealers part # 04446-24012"

so yea.. i was wondering which number should i use?

i have a 92 sc400 if that helps!

Thanks


edit: now the question is how do i remove the pump??

if you get one from the ls400 get the one from the same year. I just changed mine a few weeks ago after it killed my alternator.

the blue made it super dark. and yea.. AC needs gas now n then hopefully it doesnt leak. suspension will be changed later. power steering is top priority now.. since its squeeling like no other.. n its foaming.. so much air in the system..

ouch - the local stealer wants $40 for the 04446-24012 kit (assuming thats the right one for the 92 SC400)

is there a reputable online store for oem parts? www.toyotapartscheap.com has the kit for $28 but I'm struggling with the name.
