Hi Riley:
Nice car, I have the same '93 5.2L V8, according with the Jeep Repair Manual for 1993 at 1998, check this procedure to RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT - REMOVAL
(1) Remove power steering pump. Refer to Pump Replacement in this section.
(2) Clean exterior of pump with solvent.
(3) Clamp the pump body in a soft jaw vice.
(4) Pry up tab and slide the retaining clip off (Fig. 7).
(5) Remove fluid reservoir from pump body. Remove and discard O-ring seal (Fig. 8).







INSTALLATION
(1) Lubricate new O-ring Seal with Mopar Power Steering Fluid or equivalent.
(2) Install O-ring seal in housing.
(3) Install reservoir onto housing.
(4) Slide and tap in reservoir retainer clips until tab locks to housing.
(5) Install power steering pump. Refer to Pump Replacement in this section.

If you need other additional details or some specific section from the Repair Manual, feel free to contact us in the previous links.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

you will need to change that line its crushed to the point where it wont seal anymore

That would likely be your sending unit if fuel level is off. If no power to pump, then a fuse or relay or no power from pcm or ecm.

You need a pulley puller.You can get one from Auto Zone.They will lend out tools when you buy the part from them or you can buy one at most part stores.Good luck.

the o ring is under neath the fuel pump in your tank. When you pull the fuel pump you will see a rubber ring come up with the pump. The ring stops moisture and dirt from getting in the tank. If your o ring is craked it could cause your jeep to run a little rough. I'm having the same problem in my jeep. I can not put the rubber ring on perfect. The rubber ring seems to be to big.

It is the same tank, and the tank should have two pumps on it, one for front and one for rear.

IT REQUIRES A SPECIAL PULLEY PULLER JUST FOR POWER STEERING PULLEYS, U CAN BORROW THIS TOOL FROM SOME PARTS STORES LIKE AUTOZONE OR KRAGEN
