SOURCE: remove a power steering pump out of a 97 chevy suburban

For step by step instruction, you best pick up the auto repair guide.
Steering pumps, in general, are not very difficult to replace. Pay careful attention to how you take it apart. Use a camera to help you remember how things go.
You will need to remove the drive belt...it rotates all the accessory pulleys, including the steering pump.
The pump should only have two or three bolts holding it on. Make sure you have a hose clamp, or something clean, to catch the steering fluid when you remove the hose.
Make sure not to over or under tighten the hose clamps when reinstalling it. Start snug...then check for leaks, and tighten if needed.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: will a 1990 chevy 1500

yes it will as long as it is the same model transmission. As long as you get a transmission out of a standard cab truck you should be ok. ( for a good idea Most 88-98 gm trucks, full size blazers,jimmys,tahoes, and yukons will interchange) same chassis just different bodys and emblems

Will a transmission from a1998 Chevy Suburban 4x4 fit a 1997 Chevy 4x4 1500?

Check the trans serial/ model numbers to get better info. The only changes could be the gearing ratio's for different models. Go online to one of the bigger 4X4 owners forums and see if its answered there.

Flywheel on 1997 Chevy Suburban 1500 broken

I would say about $200-400. It involves disconnecting the transmission and torque converter bolts to the flywheel (3 bolts) and moving the transmission back far enough to remove the flywheel.
