Power Steering Pump

Hi - Does anybody know how to remove a power steering pump on a 2002 HDI estate. The bearing is noisy when at idle but fine when driving, I have stuck some grease and wd40 in it when makes it a little quieter for a time. I want to replace it but I can't figure out how to remove it. Thanks in advance...

Update
The bsi unit has been returned from BBA reman with no fault found. I have gone through all earth connectors I could find. Nothing.
I disconnected the wiring drivers side still no luck.
Anyway the Auto electrian is coming out Friday.
I will update if he finds the fault.
