*Disclaimer I don't know what I'm talking about.*
If you are not too sure on what to do you may want to bite the bullet and pay for the bentley manual. You can download at www.bentleypublishers.com : or if you are more brave 1.you can pull off the front bumper and radiator support- be sure to drain your coolant first. that will give you access.
2. I would use a turkey baster and empty out the reservoir
3.and then drain the rest of the system by bleeding off the where the lines go into the steering rack under the driver's side front fender.
4. pull the pump and unhook the lines
5. install and hook up new pump.
6. add fluid/ to bleed the system you have to crack the outlet from the steering rack with the car on jackstands and turn the wheel back and forth like a million times.
If you searched you'd find that half of what i said is probably right hope that helps you decide to get the bentley manual.

I changed my pump without removing the bumper. Its just a tight squeeze. But everything ^^^^^he said is correct. There are a few bolts holding the pump in place. Then there is a brace/support that holds the pump onto the engine.

Removing the bumper is definitely the easiest way. And in my opinion, removing the bumper isn't hard at all. Disconnecting the coolant line into and out of the radiator are the hardest part I think. Get a Bentley manual, you'll thank yourself in the long run. That or find someone you work with and copy his Dealer manual that goes on the computer

Oh and I'm not 100% sure, but isn't there a snub mount on the bumper? correct me if I'm wrong, but you could change that while you've got the bumper off.

yup, the snub mount could be easily changed if you take off the front clip.
