Power Steering Return Hose

The process of replacing the power steering pressure hose begins with lifting the vehicle to a proper height then supporting it safely before removing any existing steering linkage shields. Place a drain pan below as the next step. Start by detaching the power steering pressure hose from the pump then lower the vehicle while also taking off the air cleaner assembly. The power steering gear pressure hose needs attachment removal from the power steering gear and vehicle removal of the hose before the process continues. The power steering gear pressure hose must be connected to the power steering gear on the vehicle before tightening it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Locate the power steering pressure hose on the pump then tightly fasten it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) while keeping the vehicle raised. After removing the drain pan the steering linkage shield should be installed if equipped then the vehicle should be lowered before finishing with power steering system bleeding.

The first step to replace the power steering return hose requires air cleaner assembly removal while setting up a drain pan under the vehicle. The installation method starts with disconnecting the power steering return hose from the Power Steering Pump in vehicles without a Power Steering Cooler and disconnecting the power steering gear return hose from the Power Steering Cooler if it is equipped with one. The procedure starts with uninstalling the wiring harness clip from the power steering return hose at the power steering gear before disconnecting the power steering gear return hose from the power steering gear and finally removing the power steering gear return hose from the vehicle. First install the power steering gear return hose to the vehicle while attaching it to the power steering gear before torquing it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Reposition the wiring harness clip onto the power steering return hose near the power steering gear followed by attaching the power steering gear return hose to the equipped Power Steering Cooler while tightening the clamp to 2 nm (18 inch lbs.). The Power Steering Pump hose should be connected to the power steering gear through a 2 nm (18 inch lbs.) clamp tightening. After draining the pan you should install the air cleaner assembly before bleeding the power steering system.

A person begins replacing the power steering pressure hose by safely raising and supporting the vehicle then they must eliminate any steering linkage shields that exist before continuing. A drain pan should be placed under the vehicle before disconnecting the Power Steering Pump pressure hose. Lower the vehicle until it reaches the ground level and take out the air cleaner assembly. You must disconnect the power steering gear pressure hose from the gear unit before extracting the hose from the vehicle. After raising the vehicle you should install the power steering gear pressure hose to its proper place while guarding against twisting or bending. Secure the power steering gear pressure hose to the gear by tightening it to 30 nm using torque procedures. Finally, replace the air cleaner assembly followed by lifting the vehicle once more to install the power steering gear pressure hose on the Power Steering Pump and tighten it to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). After drain pan removal you must install the steering linkage shield but only if it was present along with lowering the vehicle before performing power steering system bleeding.

Starting the Power Steering Cooler pipe/hose replacement requires removal of the air cleaner assembly along with installing a drain pan beneath the car. Remove the Power Steering Hose from both the cooler side and the pump side before removing the hose from the car. The installation should prevent both inlet and outlet hoses from twisting or becoming misshaped because doing so may damage the components. Reconnect the Power Steering Cooler hose onto the vehicle by joining its ends to the steering cooler while securing the clamp with 2 nm (118 inch lbs.) torque. The hose installation begins with connecting it to the Power Steering Pump while pressing down on the clamp to achieve 2 nm (18 inch lbs.). When all the connections are finished you can take out the drain pan and return the air cleaner assembly to its place. The power steering system needs a bleeding procedure as its final step for normal operation.

The first step to install a new power steering return hose demands air cleaner assembly removal while placing a drain pan beneath the vehicle. The power steering return hose must be disconnected from the Power Steering Pump for vehicles without a Power Steering Cooler but should be disconnected from the Power Steering Cooler in case of equipment. The installation begins by detaching the power steering return hose from its position at the power steering gear where the wiring harness clip remains in place. Then disconnect the return hose from the power steering gear for hose removal from the vehicle. To install the power steering gear return hose the technician should fasten it to the vehicle while connecting it to the power steering gear and securing it with a torque of 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Install the power steering return hose at the power steering gear where the wiring harness clip connects then secure it to the Power Steering Cooler if equipped using a hose clamp set to 2 nm (18 inch lbs.). The return hose of vehicles without power steering coolers needs to be installed on the Power Steering Pump with a 2 nm (18 inch lbs.) hose clamp tension. The final step requires removal of the drain pan followed by reinstallation of the air cleaner assembly and performance of power steering system bleeding.

Take out the bracket and the retaining bolts from the frame brackets.

Raise the vehicle again and use the seal extraction end of the Power Steering Gear Oil Seal Remover/Installer (J44586) to extract the power steering gear oil seal from the gear, ensuring the inlet and outlet ports are clean to prevent contamination.

Disconnect the power steering pressure hose and power steering cooler hose from the power steering pump.

First, remove the air cleaner assembly and install a drain pan under the vehicle.

Disconnect the power steering cooler hose from the power steering pump and the power steering cooler, then remove the hose from the vehicle.

Install the power steering hose assembly.

Install the hydraulic line onto the clutch concentric actuator.

Install the hydraulic line onto the clutch concentric actuator.

Use the seal extraction end of the J 44586 to extract the power steering gear oil seal.

Install the power steering gear return hose back into the vehicle.

Connect the hose to the power steering gear and tighten it to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.).
