Reservoir

Draining the power steering fluid from the Power Steering Pump should be the first step before dealing with the Power Steering Reservoir replacement off your vehicle. The pump mounting studs need removal before you detach the connector and fitting assembly and o-ring seal from it. Removing the control valve assembly together with the flow control spring from the pump housing assembly becomes essential during flow control valve replacement. One must first remove the o-ring seals , , and from the reservoir assembly before detaching it from the pump housing assembly. An evaluation of the welch plug inside the Power Steering Pump housing should happen without removing the plug. Deformation or dislodgment of the welch plug requires replacing the entire Power Steering Pump. To assemble the system use new o-ring seals which should get a lubrication treatment with power steering fluid. Reinstall the pump housing assembly structure by adding the control valve assembly and flow control spring first but also position the o-ring seals , , and correctly. After installing the magnet on the pump housing assembly you need to connect its reservoir assembly to it. Place the o-ring seal onto the pump housing before you install the connector and fitting assembly on its surface. When mounting the pump with its studs on the pump housing ensure they are tightened to 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.) simultaneously with the connector and fitting assembly mounting to 75 nm (55 ft. Lbs.).

The power steering fluid drainage from the Power Steering Pump starts the process to replace the Power Steering Reservoir off a vehicle. Start by removing the pump mounting studs before taking off the connector and fitting assembly while also removing its o-ring seal from the assembly. When needed get rid of the flow control spring together with the control valve assembly from the pump housing assembly . Remove the reservoir assembly from the pump housing assembly by first taking off the o-ring seals , , and and then the magnet that needs to be cleaned. The inspection of the welch plug in the Power Steering Pump housing should happen without plug removal but if it demonstrates damage or becomes detached then the pump needs replacement. New o-ring seals should be used during the assembly process accompanied by power steering fluid lubrication. Secure the pump housing assembly with control valve assembly and flow control spring while attaching o-ring seals and and the magnet. If installing the assembly between reservoir and housing, position the o-ring at the correct spot. Supplement the magnet to the pump housing while following all fastener notice instructions in service precautions. Place the pump mounting studs onto the pump housing before tightening to 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.) and continue by tightening the connector and fitting assembly to 75 nm (55 ft. Lbs.).
