    Nothing needs to be done with the power steering pump. If you are referring to the two small hoses attached to the radiator, they are lines for the transmission. Just undo those and have something ready to catch fluid, there won't be a lot, maybe a half a litre or a bit more.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    and theres four screws, one in each corner to remove thermo fans, two clips on either side of radiator that you pry out with a screw driver, then undo all your hoses obviously, then it should slide straight up.
