2005 Buick Park Avenue Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on 2005 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The replacement process for a Power Steering Reservoir requires one to position the hydraulic pump on a stable flat surface with its shaft directed toward the ceiling. The retaining clip tab requires insertion of a screwdriver for careful force to push the reservoir clip outside of the hydraulic pump assembly. The second reservoir clip must be removed before taking out the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing for disposal of the O-ring seal. Before installing the new O-ring seal on the reservoir neck you need to apply power steering fluid as lubrication. When installing the reservoir onto the hydraulic pump assembly position it so that the neck fully locks into place. Perform reservoir alignment by placing its feet on the hydraulic pump housing sides before installing new retaining clips correctly with tabs inside the hydraulic pump housing positions.
