It appears to be a pretty straight forward job replacing the power steering pump. I do not however wish to reinvent the wheel. Thus, if anyone has any tips or tricks in getting this job done most efficiently please let me know.
one thing I've noticed while replacing the PS belt is that I will have to pull the PS pulley in order to take the bolt out closest to the engine block.
anything else?

You need to develop your search techniques as most ground has been covered on this forum many times and at least the basics can be found pretty easily.
Adjust those search strings as you learn more. You'll have to learn how to skip the fzj80 stuff, etc. and you'll learn which posters are most reliable, etc. After covering the basics via search you can ask questions that fill in the gaps and help make mud an even more complete resource moving forward, etc.

This is true. I’m still learning how to sift through all the forums that do not pertain to my vehicle.

the holes seem to match up, gears look similar enough, but the holes in new motor are not tapped for a screw???

Installed these little cup holders today. Very nice fabrications for the FJ80’s! Shout out to the designer of this product.
Screws are self tapping. It can take some effort.

You aren’t afraid of stripping the old torques 25 screws while tapping new threads into an aftermarket window motor? Seemed pretty odd it didn’t come with ore threaded holes. Hmmm
gotcha
use new bolts with hexagonal heads that is similar in size and in lieu of the OEM machine head screws by tapping new threads into the window motor....it's not hard, just time consuming...

I am in the middle of replacing the headlight bulbs with LEDs and I am taking the motor and tubing off in order to access the light bulbs anyway so I’m keeping it off for now.
I just read a Craigslist post about and 80 stolen from home in Berkeley.
Nice car and congrats!! Keep it safe.

One down, one to go…
Lubed the regulators and window tracks and replaced the motor in front passenger door. One more to go.…
passenger rear window keeps popping out of window mount. the regulator looks good. I Just replaced the motor. Lubed everything up. Still slow. Do I need new window guides? New rubber channels?
