[V8] Power steering pump

[Kneale Brownson]

I wouldn't attempt to rebuild a pump without an impact and a press or
really huge vise.  

Extracting the pump is a bit more of a chore in the V8 than on the I5 cars:
 You have to move the electric fan motor and take off the pump pulley in
situ, which can be a chore without a pin wrench.  Getting a wrench/socket
onto the fasteners also can be difficult.  If your serpentine belt is
several years old, I'd change that too.
