Just a belated note of thanks for your tips and encouragment. Several weeks back my friend and me got our tools together and came up with much needed and recommended crows foot wrenches and wobble extensions. Indeed, removing the rf tire and the wheel-well apron created the window of opportunity to access the pump. There was sufficient room to maneuver the pump over the un-disassembled tie rod without it touching anything. My crows foot were cheapos and was not compact enough to get around 1 of 4 hi-press nuts on top of the pump, so ended up using a small, open end to tighten without the benefit of the torque wrench that was used elsewhere. (Also, I did purchase an OEM reman pump although I bought aftermarket hi-pressure hose.) Of course, we had to remove the alternator belt before getting to the ps pump's pully which, fortunately, came off easily. Yes it was a pita but the bs, cussin' and laughter made it all, at least, bearable, if not enjoyable. Thanks again y'all.
