• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on 2002 Buick Century?

  A: The Power Steering Reservoir replacement starts by setting the hydraulic pump vertically on a level stationary surface with its shaft pointed upwards. A screwdriver should enter the retaining clip tab while applying force to push the reservoir clip toward the hydraulic pump assembly. Perform the same operation for the adjacent reservoir clip before taking out the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing. You need to remove the O-ring seal either from the reservoir neck or hydraulic pump housing before discarding it. To install the new O-ring seal for the reservoir's neck you need to apply power steering fluid as lubrication before insertion and proper positioning. You need to place the reservoir on the hydraulic pump assembly but you must confirm its neck extends all the way out. Place the reservoir feet along the hydraulic pump housing sides and install the mount clips that came with the pump equipment before verifying complete tab engagement of the reservoir within the pump housing.
