1. Will a rebuilt unit be all right, or do I want a factory pump. There's only about a $50 differance.

2. Is there any special bleeding proceedure's I need to do.

3. Any other tip's would be greatly appreciated.

 

I just did mine on my '01. It's a major PIA to get the thing off and I couldn't get the hoses off so I just cut them and then replaced them with new hose. I would also suggest you put on a power steering filter while you have it off (they're about $25). Good luck.

 

rebuild from auto parts store are fine there is a bleeding /flushing precdure
good to have a friend help because them pump pullys are a pita. do you have all nessary tools like the puller?
