• Q: How to replace the power steering pump on 2003 Buick Century?

  A: The process of replacing the Power Steering Pump begins with removal of the coolant recovery reservoir which you should place aside. The work starts by removing the accessory Drive Belt from the Power Steering Pump until completion of the ignition control wiring harness before the pump. The power steering pressure hose and return hose should be detachable from the pump followed by bolt removal and Power Steering Pump extraction. The next step requires detachment of the Power Steering Pump pulley together with reservoir components from the pump unit. When installing the Power Steering Pump reservoir should go on the pump first followed by the pulley. Attach the pump to its engine position and bolt it into place with torque of 34 n.m (25 lb ft). Reinstall the ignition control wiring harness then reapply the accessory Drive Belt while connecting the power steering pressure hose as well as the return hose. During the last steps users should reinstall the coolant recovery reservoir after filling the power steering system with fluid and bleeding out the system. Afterward they need to conduct a leak check and take out the drain pan under the vehicle.
