Power Steering Pump Replacment

Well i ran into a mess...it started as i was turning left at a intersection, my power steering hose which aparently was ridding against the headers burned a hole and blew out causing the fluid to spray everywhere leading to the car catching fire and the fire department coming out to help put it out, in the middle of a busy intersection. So i got the car home and ended up splicing the line with a hydrolic steel braided 4000psi hose to save myself the $350 that the new power steering hose cost. well i spliced everything and as i pressured up the system it worked great...until i heard a strange dripping sound that turned out to be fluid dripping out of the pump. upon further investigation apparently the gasket on the power steering pump blew out as well...which im thinking may have been caused by debree getting in the lines during my hose repair.

Anyway im wondering if anyone has ever replaced a power steering pump and if you can offer me a few tips on the removal of the pump and what all accessories have to come off in order to remove it. i have the belt and pulley off the pump but now im just looking at a mess of bolts in small hard to reach places. Im hoping that all i need to do is replace the gasket and not the whole pump...but who knows. Also if debree got into the system what is a good way to purge the system to remove any junk??

thanks for all the help!!!!!!!
