Is this a straight forward swap or is there a sequence to follow? Someone told me something about turning the wheel after installation to get the air out or something.

Thanks Guys

Yep, turning the steering wheel from lock to lock will purge the air. Be aware though that when you start the car the trapped air will aereate the fluid and depending upon how full the system is can push fluid out of the top of the pump. Best bet is to purge the system and let it sit for a little while before checking and topping off the fluid.

so install the pump, start the car and turn from lock to lock, let it sit for a while (day?), then check and top off?

EDIT: What makes your sho a MTX?

Use Mercon ATF or something like Valvoline synthetic PSF.
