• Q: How to replace the power steering pump on 2003 Cadillac CTS?

  A: Installation of a new Power Steering Pump demands placing a drain pan underneath then removing the power steering pulley. The next step of replacing the Power Steering Pump requires the removal of both the power steering pressure hose and power steering reservoir outlet hose from the pump. Break the Power Steering Pump mounting bolts (1, 2, and 3) before removing the pump from its place. New power steering pumps need to be positioned before securing the mounting bolts in sequence (1, 2, and 3) to 35 nm (26 ft. Lbs.). Clean the power steering pressure hose fully then install a new seal before pump hose connection while tightening to 40 nm (30 ft.lbs). Reattach the outlet hose from the power steering reservoir before reinstalling the power steering pulley then drain the pan and perform a power steering system bleeding procedure.
