Power Steering Pump

Begin by removing the accessory Drive Belt followed by raising and supporting the vehicle. Begin by removing the wheel and tire followed by detaching both the power steering pressure hose and return hose from the Power Steering Pump. First detach the electrical connector from the Power Steering Pump then remove all mounting bolts that secure the pump in place. The Power Steering Pump requires removal following the reservoir and pulley. The first step for installation is to mount the Power Steering Pump reservoir onto the pump followed by installing the pump pulley. Position the Power Steering Pump to the engine then fasten it with mounting bolts which should be tightened to 34 n.m (25 lb ft). Secure the power steering pressure hose and return hose to the pump along with the electrical connector installation to the Power Steering Pump. The last step includes reattaching the accessory Drive Belt followed by fluid addition to the power steering system and bleeding procedures before conducting leak inspections.

Vehicle maintenance starts with accessory Drive Belt removal before vehicle lifting and supporting while removing tire and wheel assembly. The vehicle requires a drain pan which should be placed below it while detaching the power steering pressure line and return hose from the pump. After removing the mounting bolts proceed with removing the Power Steering Pump assembly from the vehicle. You should remove the power steering pulley together with the reservoir from the pump assembly. Installation of the power steering system begins with reservoir attachment to the pump and completion using the power steering pulley. After installation of the Power Steering Pump reinstall its mounting bolts and apply torque force at 34 nm (25 ft. Lbs.). You should connect the power steering pressure line as well as the return hose before reattaching the tire and wheel assembly. You should lower the vehicle before putting on the accessory Drive Belt. Add power steering system fluid before removing air from the system then examine for leakage before taking out the drain pan located underneath the car.

Placing a drain pan under the vehicle is the first step before removing the accessory Drive Belt. Start by lifting then supporting your vehicle before taking out the tire along with wheel assembly. You must disconnect the power steering pressure hose together with the power steering return hose from the Power Steering Pump. The next step involves breaking the attachments of power steering mounting bolts before removing the Power Steering Pump. The Power Steering Pump reservoir must get detached from the pump and the Power Steering Pump pulley needs to be transferred. The Power Steering Reservoir must be connected to the pump before placing the pump at the engine position while tightening all mounting bolts to 34 nm (25 ft. Lbs.). The power steering pressure hose and return hose should be attached to the pump while accessory Drive Belt installation follows. The technician should add power steering fluid to complete filling the system then bleed air from it before inspecting for fluid leaks after removing the pan underneath.

A drain pan should be positioned under the vehicle before removing the coolant recovery reservoir for the replacement of the Power Steering Pump. The first step includes detaching the Power Steering Pump pulley from the Power Steering Pump after removing the ignition wiring harness in its proximity. The Power Steering Pump assembly requires the removal of mounting bolts followed by disconnecting the power steering pressure line (3.8 L or 3.4 L) and power steering return hose (3.4 L or 3.8 L). You should disconnect the Power Steering Pump reservoir from its connection to the pump body. To install the Power Steering Pump reservoir joins it to the pump while placing the pump assembly against the engine before fastening the mounting bolts at a torque of 34 nm (25 ft. Lbs.). After linking the power steering pressure line with the return hose the technician reinstall the ignition control wiring harness then attaches the Power Steering Pump pulley. The vehicle maintenance should start with reservoir reinstallation then filling the power steering system for bleeding and leak inspection before drain pan removal.

A 3.8l engine requires the owner to remove first the accessory Drive Belt followed by vehicle elevation and tire removal. Begin the process by dismounting the electrical connector from the Power Steering Pump and then disconnecting the pressure hose as well as the return hose from this component. You should begin by removing the mounting bolts before extracting the Power Steering Pump from its place. Secondly you should detach the Power Steering Pump reservoir and pulley mechanism from the pump. First install the Power Steering Pump reservoir following attachment of the pulley then position the pump correctly against the engine before securing the mounting bolts up to 34 nm torque using tools (25 ft. Lbs.). After reattaching the power steering pressure hose and return hose you should connect the electrical connector to the Power Steering Pump. The last step requires reinstallation of the accessory Drive Belt followed by power steering fluid addition and system bleeding and then leak inspection.

A drain pan should be placed first under the car while you remove the accessory Drive Belt which operates the Power Steering Pump pulley. Position the vehicle on a lifting stand before you take out the wheel and tire while keeping it safely elevated above the floor. Disengage the power steering pressure line together with the power steering return hose from the pump. The first step involves removing both mounting bolts for the Power Steering Pump while extracting the Power Steering Pump assembly. The first step involves separating the Power Steering Pump pulley together with the Power Steering Pump reservoir from the pump assembly. Start the installation by fixing the Power Steering Pump reservoir along with pulley to its place on the pump and afterward position the pump assembly towards the engine. Mount the bolts according to specification before tightening them to 34 nm (25 ft. Lbs.). When ready disconnect the power steering pressure line and return hose. Next put back the tire and wheel unit. After lowering the vehicle you should install the accessory Drive Belt. The power steering system needs fluid addition before performing a bleeding operation to eliminate air bubbles. After completing the inspection of system leaks you should remove the drain pan that is positioned below the vehicle.

First, remove the accessory drive belt.

Attach the power steering pump reservoir to the pump and position the assembly to the engine, securing it with the mounting bolts tightened to 34 N.m (25 lb ft).

Connect the power steering pressure line and the power steering return hose, then reinstall the ignition control wiring harness.

Remove the power steering pump mounting bolts and then take out the pump assembly along with the reservoir.

Detach the power steering pump pulley from the power steering pump and remove the ignition wiring harness located near the pump.
