Ford Repair: Windstar Power Steering, power steering pump, chiltons repair


Question
I am going to attempt replacing the power steering pump on a 2000 windstar with a 3.8 engine.  Before I begin, are there any special tools needed or any hidden bolts/brackets/etc that may help a novice like me?  

Answer
Darryl,
Everytime a person works on a vehicle their is always the last bolt that is a pain to remove. I have learned for experience, that it maybe a easy job, but then again it turns into a headache. I would reccommend a Chiltons repair manual just in case. Also a bunch of sockets, open end wrenches, and maybe a pry bar would do you. Hope you have the best of luck with it. Thanks for the question..
