I had to replace a power steering pump on a 2002 GMC Sierra 2500HD pickup truck. I think the flat-rate book time is 1.5 hours. It took me well over -five- hours to do it. My back is killing me, my arms and elbows are all cut up. The truck is so tall and the pump is so low in the bay that I had my butt in the air for most of it. Since the power steering pump also boosts the brakes in this truck, it's really important. Sounded like a freaking supercharger with the whine before I replaced it. Hope I did it correctly, because I never want to take that off again. (This truck has a power steering cooler and lines for just about every other type of cooler going through that area, so what a pain trying to get wrenches on bolts!)
Little British cars don't need power steering...the only one I've had with power steering was the TR8, which I didn't like. It took less than five hours to remove and refit the carbs and head on my TR3 when I did it for the first time.
