2000 Cadillac Seville Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The power steering operation requires draining power steering fluid from the reservoir and then removing the serpentine belt as the first steps for pump replacement. Remove first the return fluid line from the reservoir and then disconnect the pressure pipe from the pump and the mounting bolt for the pump. Extract the complete assembly that comprises the pump, reservoir and pulley along with the bracket from the vehicle. Install the pump and reservoir with pulley and bracket together into the vehicle while following the fastener notice. Screw the Power Steering Pump mounting bolt into place before torquing it to 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). The installation order begins with the pressure pipe connection to the pump before applying torque to 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). Then install the return hose on the reservoir. The complete procedure requires installation of the serpentine belt while you fill the power steering system followed by bleeding the power steering system.
