well sometimes you just have to do it the hard way, disassemble the pump and take notes of how it comes apart to the point you can get to a point of pressing out the bearing and seal.
i have never seen a writeup and no instructions in the FSM so you'll have to wing it like the rest of us do for other things.

i've done a couple of the GSL-SE pumps and they are pretty easy, and the FD pump i think is easy too, however i've never even heard of an FC pump going bad!
generally the PS pumps are easy, the only hard part might be the stepper motor stuff on the back of the pump

normally i just swap the pumps but the FC has like 3 variants... i just hope they sent you the correct kit as i have only seen 1 listed and it does not specify which version koyo the pump is, which is also why i have never bothered with it. it's already a pain finding parts for these cars and dealing with incorrect parts makes it that much more difficult.

"I did this years ago, as a matter of fact its probably in my build thread.
It was pretty easy except that I had the stupid reservoir design that just slides on the back of the pump and uses a giant 6" o-ring that no one carries. The pump works like a charm but there is still a very anoying (although very slight) seepage from the reservoir as a result of being forced to re-use that o-ring.

So rebuilding the power steering pump wasn't as bad as I thought. There are some o rings that are not included in the rebuild kit that you need, such as the resevoir o ring. I did find one at Harbor Frieght that fit good. So no more leaks. I'm trying to attach a diagram of the pump so we will see.
