When I look up the power steering pump, it sells without the reservoir Now if I could just figure out how to remove the reservoir then I could take the front cover off without removing the pump.

hanly2, they are external Torq fasteners. Purchase the proper tool to remove them, assuming they need to be removed during the timing chain replacement.

Guys, I finally got the pump off. I changed the guides and now I am ready to put things back together. I guess put the cams in place first then torq them down, then turn each one to the pin location and pin it While holding the chain off? Will there be enough slack to turn the passenger intake cam, I know the exhaust one should be easy because the sprocket is off that one. Oh I also need to know how to properly install the guide pins, do they get any sealant?

No sealant necessary, start with exhaust cam drivers side , set to tdc, ot mark, put that cam in as close as possible to holes in cam holdown brackets at front, there should be no slack on cam to crank run, if your off too far remove and reset cam the idea is to get it lined up to the mark exactly when the cam is finally tightened, use plenty of lube on the cam surfaces or assembly lube if you have some, next the intake cam, the adjuster gets turned all the way to the right if it moves then install to the chain, the of course intake cam on passenger side then exhaust , when you finally get all the 4 cams right it may help to wedge the tensioner rail at passenger side slightely so the tensioner will go in the two bolts

I don't understand what you mean about the adjuster. I will get some assembly lube today. I have not removed the tensioner yet. I heard they rarely go bad and I might be better off keeping it then installing the febi one.

The intake cams have movable adjusters, just make sure if your holding the cam that the adjuster is clocked to the right then installed on your chain, you can you tube timing adjuster 104 eng to see how it moves

I don't mean to beat you up on the subject, but the guides usually fail due to a chain beating them to death because of chain stretch and/or a weak chain tensioner. You mentioned in a previous comment that you weren't going to replace the chain. IMO, if you're not replacing the chain and tensioner, I'm afraid that you may be defeating the whole purpose of the job.
