Hand-holding with Power Steering Pump rebuild?

["joel hunter" <thejoel_hunter@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

looks like we are in the same boat. my pump on my 72 four door blew up this 
morining. the belts flung fluid everywhere. was yours making a loud 
screeching noise when you drive?  if somebody contacts you let me know. i 
need pump work too.
