Power Steering Pump - '08 Tahoe

[EddieC]

I thought I had a leaky high pressure line but looking closer now I see that the ps pump is leaking a little in the area of the shaft right above where the hose is getting wet.
Question is are any aftermarket pumps an acceptable replacement? I see many names on RA.
I saw a video that seems to point to needing a tool set to remove and replace the pulley. The cost of that might make having the mechanic tackle it as he is probably tooled up but I am open to opinions.

You can rent the tool from AutoZone or whoever, and get your full deposit back after. This is what you want: https://www.autozone.com/test-scan-...r/p/oemtools-pulley-puller-installer/2075_0_0

It is easy to remove the pulley with the tool. I'll see if I can the instructional video on YouTube that made the most sense.

This is the pump I purchased from RockAuto: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=12747973&cc=3305735&pt=7380

This video; short & to the point:

Thanks.
I wondered about Edelmann seeing several different things that show.
Has it held up ok?
