Default Lexus Sc300 Power Steering & Heater Failure! Please Help..

I have a 92 Sc300 and it's been leaking power steering fluid.. After I decided to keep my Sc300 and sell my E36 328I Sport Package and started it today for the first time in about 6 months the power steering was really stiff! Also could not move it unless the car is moving.. So what is the issue here? Is there a Do It Yourself manual on how to replace the pump.. Also my Heater is not working on my SC anymore, reason why I sold my E36 was because of the maintenance problems.. I did not want to spend anymore on it as it was gold digging me and on top of that I'm a Toyota type of guy.. So is there anyone that can help me out with this power steering pump issue it makes a big squealing noise and is very hard to turn unless I'm moving.. Also my heater is not working, is there a way to solve this? Thanks everyone!

Add coolant will fix heat (worked for me) if it doesn't help, search "heater control valve bypass" and follow te pics.

As far as ps pump, you can search "sc300 power steering replace" and get a few results.

I use google for searches as it brings better results. Try "insert search words here" site:clublexus.com to narrow to this site.
