Default power steering pump

I had a hydraulic hose rupture on my power steering at 80+ .(full hydraulic) I limped it back to the dock with little steering. In the process I burned up my power steering pump. The engine is a 1999, 502 with stock merc power steering pump. Can I get a new pump at a local parts store or do I need to go through Merc. and pay the big $. It has the serpentine belt set up. I havent removed pump yet, but how do I get the serpentine pulley off the front of the pump? Where would you recomend I go for a new pump?
Thanks,
Steve

Try a junkyard. You may need to press the pulley off with special tools that autozone will lend you for free.
It's just a generic Metric vane pump. Get one from a truck and maybe it will just bolt up and go with the serpentine pulley and all. Dealer sells them for apx. $400. Save $350 and get a used one . They dont go bad in a million miles unless something like what happened to you happens. You might have to change the bolts etc. but it is the same part

Or you could just take the pump body out of the reservoir and exchange at any auto parts store.

I like that idea. That way every thing would match up with my set up, and cheaper too. I'll probaby pull it off tomorrow night and see how hard it is to take off the pump body, and head to the auto parts store.
Thanks,
Steve

yep. I did same thing a few year ago. That way you retain the same return hose fitting location.

I took the old pump off and headed to the local Auto Zone. Matched it up (Auto Zone Part #7087) Put it back on and it's running great. Life time warranty. Only cost $58.00 which is a lot better that the Merc price.
Thanks everyone for the advice.
