• Q: How to assemble the Power Steering Pump on 2002 Chevrolet Tracker?

  A: Applying wheel bearing lubricant gm p/n 1051344 (Canadian P/N 993037 ) or equivalent should be done to the oil seal lip before starting Power Steering Pump assembly. The next step requires dexron iii automatic transmission fluid gm p/n 12346143 (Canadian P/N 10952622) or equivalent to be applied to the shaft sliding surface and the pulley shaft requires insertion from the pump body's oil seal side. Apply dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to both o-rings and place them (1,2) on the pump body before installing the side plate with exact alignment of dowel pins to bolt hole. Place the rotor with its dot facing upward and install it to the shaft after lubricating both surfaces with dexron iii automatic transmission fluid. A brand-new snap ring needs to be installed properly within the shaft groove. Install the cam ring to the pump body with tapered end facing side plate after applying dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to its sliding surface. Add dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to each of the 10 vanes and install them onto the rotor piece. The pump shaft should receive the snap ring followed by applying dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to the o-ring before installing it to the pump body. After rubbing dexron iii automatic transmission fluid on the sliding surfaces of the pump cover (23 and the rotor) you can mount the dowel pins (3,4) into the cover plate holes before placing the pump cover onto the pump body. Seamlessly tighten the 4 pump cover bolts (1,2,3,4) to 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.) rotation torque value. Dexron iii automatic transmission fluid application should occur on the pressure switch o-ring before installing this component to the pump body with a torque of 28 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). New automotive fluid should be applied to the relief valve before installing it to the pump body and then installing its flow control spring. Before installation of the plug users should apply dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to the o-rings. Users must then install the o-rings to the plug before finally tightening it to 60 nm (43.5 ft. Lbs.). Install the suction connector o-ring by applying dexron iii automatic transmission fluid to its surface before setting it into the connector. To finish this installation of the Power Steering Pump in the vehicle use the power steering gear outlet hose connector to the pump body before tightening the connector bolts to 10 nm (88.5 inch lbs.).
