Buy, rent, or borrow a power steering pump pulley puller/installer to get the pulley off of the old pump and back on the new pump. After it is installed, put the front end on jack stands, fill the reservoir, and slowly turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times with the engine running to bleed the air from the system. Re-check the fluid level and you should be ready to go.
