Power steering pump

So, how difficult is it to replace the power steering pump in a 2006 Chevy Uplander. I'm a brand new, self taught mechanic. So far I've replaced the front hub assembly & a bushing on the control arm. Now I have to do the power steering pump & im a bit nervous. Any tips, tricks or just a pep talk is appreciated

Welcome to the forum

Repositioning the belt might be a bigger PITA then the pump ... ehehe

May be a good time to put a new belt and pulleys if needed

Cheers ..... Vin

the pump i got from oreillys says it fits. Sure, the bolts line up. But as far as lining up the belt. Not at all. How are they going to say it fits when it doesnt
