it started with every once in a while now it is everytime i turn in two days. i looked at the power steer pump and it looks like there is a lot of grease down there. so my guess is that the pump went out or the piping came off or something. i cant back out of a parking spot w/o my car clicking and almost if not stalling. i saw that what looks like the pump is really far down, how hard is it to change and what has to be done to get to it? or should i just take it to a mechanic and save all the hassle, whats the price difference b/t me doing it and a mechanic doing it?

ok i tried that and it still does it. when i turn the wheels all the way to the right, usually you hear a strain, right, well all i hear is my starter grinding as my engine is shutting off(stalling), it also happens when i turn left and as im straightening the wheels out it cuts out then back on. so i made a guess and maybe its a short in one of the wires in the main harness in the steering column from when i installed the alarm maybe. any thoughts on this idea. im trying to avoid a mechanic which i have scheduled for thursday. so please any help would be greatly appreciated.
