Please ignore - posted in correct place now

Hi all

My Power steering pump appears to be on it's last legs - very little aid once warmed up at low revs (fine when cold or when not idling) - MY09 D5, 108k - I had my belts done about 5k ago and this weekend I changed the power steering fluid to no avail. I've sourced a replacement but wanted to know of anyone has any advice (or preferably a how-to guide) as to how to swap it out?

Tempted to do this myself if it's not too tricky and if no specialist tools are required, otherwise it will be local mechanic time...

Thanks
