2000 Cadillac Eldorado Power Steering Pump Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Beginning the Power Steering Pump replacement requires users to remove the Drive Belt along with draining power steering fluid from the reservoir. Detach the return pipe from the reservoir before taking off the pressure pipe from the pump. First remove the pump mounting bolt before disassembling the vehicle by taking away the pump with reservoir, pulley and bracket assembly. The assembly consisting of pump and reservoir must be separated from bracket while the pump pulley needs removal before removing retaining clips which secure reservoir to pump. To install the system you should first connect the reservoir to the pump through retaining clips and afterward place the pump and reservoir assembly onto the bracket. Fasten the pump to bracket bolts (4,5) by applying torque to 24 nm (18 ft. Lbs.). Position the pump with pulley and bracket assembly and reservoir in the same order as removal before reinstallation. Screw the mounting bolt of the pump onto the engine before torquing it to 47 nm (35 ft. Lbs.). The pump pressure pipe needs to be connected along with a fitting adjustment to 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.) before adding the reservoir return hose. The installation process concludes with fitting the Drive Belt along with reservoir and power steering system filling and systematic drainage of the system.
