Thanks to all who answered and let me see if I've gotten this right

You can remove the complete pulse module (both the mechanical part and
the electronic) by removing the two 10mm bolts on the flange of the
die cast part. You get to it from the top passenger side under the
hood and I'm assuming a long extension and universal knuckle would be
required. Looks like removing the air intake tube and associated
vaccum hoses is either helpful or necessary

The lower part, that is gear driven from the transmission and has the
two hydraulic hoses attached to it as part of the variable power
steering regulation system does not have to be removed to replace the
upper portion and is likely to be OK. I have a check engine 17 code
and no speedometer function and it is most likely the upper module
that is bad.

Thanks for any confirmation on my understanding of the situation.
