2000 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the power steering pump on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: Replacing the Power Steering Pump requires several steps beginning with belt removal then draining reservoir fluid followed by disconnecting the fluid line from its reservoir. First cut off the pressure pipe from the pump before removing the pump mounting bolt and then detach the pump, reservoir, pulley along with bracket assembly from the vehicle. Installation requires repositioning the pump alongside reservoir and pulley and bracket assembly into the vehicle before tightening the Power Steering Pump mounting bolt to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). The pressure pipe needs to be attached to the pump before tightening it to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.) and then the return hose must be fitted to the reservoir and serpentine belt installed afterward. The power steering system needs power steering fluid for filling while bleeding the system to finalize the procedure.
