I also used the NAPA pump. I just bought the pump and used my old reservoir. I did this because the mating bolts and brackets are on the reservoir I did not want to take a chance that it would not line up. Make sure you check the threads. The only difference in years is that older ones use US threads newer ones are metric.

Or you can by the rebuild kit from NAPA and spend an additional 15 min and know how it is rebuilt. Lifetime warranty means nothing. You just pay more for the same part and they will keep replacing it as long as you are willing to keep changing it.

Not just a swap out. You will need to re-use your pulley and in some cases the tank. Most parts stores will have some loaner tools so you can borrow a power steering pulley puller. Once you have the pulley off it is very easy to rebuild the pump yourself. When you reinstall the pulley, you need to make sure it is installed to the right depth so it lines up correctly with the other accessories to keep from throwing the belts. Once it is installed, just fill with fluid and start up engine and turn back and forth, while keeping fluid at approiate level, to bleed system.
