2004 Chevrolet Aveo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on 2004 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: Creating an initial task involves removing power steering fluid from the reservoir through siphoning. Fasten the hoses immediately after they are taken out of use because uncontrolled fluid could deteriorate steering components and reduce the functionality of steering. You must start by loosening the hose clamps and taking out both hoses after which you can unscrew the fluid reservoir attaching bolts to detach the reservoir. The power steering reservoir should be installed by applying the reservoir attaching bolts and tightening them to 7 Nm (62 inch lbs.). Both hose connectors should be joined before securing the hose clamps. You need to use GM Spec. No. 9985010 or an equivalent rating of power steering fluid as well as cold climate fluid accessible through GM Dealerships when carrying out fluid filling or complete change procedures. When power steering fluid usage is incorrect during maintenance it leads to harm for hoses and seals and results in fluid leakage and pump destruction. Practical power steering fluid should be added into the fluid reservoir and any leakage should be investigated followed by necessary corrections and system bleeding procedures.
