Default Power steeringggg pumP

Im going to be replacing my power steering pump and my reservoir, but i cant seem to find a step by step or video guide, can anyone help me on how to do so? Also how do I flush fluid when pump is installed, and what power steering fluid spec and brand would have been in my car off the lot ?

i dont know of any how to guides, but it's not to difficult of a job. you will have to bleed air out of the system, you can do this by turning the steering wheel back and forth while the front tiers are off the ground, before you start it up for the 1st time with the new pump

The return hose attached to the reservoir, and the larger hose between the reservoir and pump, will be your biggest hurdles.
They will be stiff and contrary. They will likely get damaged during the process. Plan on replacing both, but keep in mind they are both metric, not inch size.
The res. to pump hose is rather expensive from Lexus, but you can buy a decent, correct ID, aftermarket hose from RA.
