Power steering pump..
The powersteerin pump on my car went so i got a replacement but the bolts on the front of the pump dont line up with my mounting bracket becasue the pump is in the resovoir slightly crooked preventing it from lining up correctly... i have no idea how to get the pump out of the resovior to fix this problem.. if anybody could tell me or show me where to look for information on how to take it apart i'd appreciate it... thanks!

If your old reservoir is good, then there's nothing wrong with putting your new pump in it...
Take all the brackets off your old pump; take the big stud thing out of the back, and the fitting that the pressure hose hooks to; the pump will come out the front of the reservoir. THere's a big O-ring around th epump that seals it. You can take the new one apart the same way, and swap it over. If the pulley is still on it (them) you'll need to "rent" a puller / installer from Auto Zone or wherever. Clean out your old reservoir before you put it back together.
