2006 Buick Lucerne Power Steering Pump Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the Power Steering Pump (L26) on 2006 Buick Lucerne?

  A: When replacing the Power Steering Pump (L26) begin by removing the Drive Belt then raising the vehicle while keeping it securely supported. A drain pan should be placed below to start while disconnecting the power steering pressure hose and return hose from the pump and removing the wiring harness. Lower the vehicle then take out the coolant recovery reservoir before removing the Power Steering Pump retaining bolts to extract the pump. The power steering pulley requires transfer in case of necessary installation. Apply new Power Steering Pump to the motor before installing retaining bolts which must reach 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque specification. You should add the coolant recovery reservoir before hooking up the wiring harness and finally fastening the power steering pressure hose at 30 nm (22 ft. Lbs.). The vehicle should lower and the power steering return hose needs to be connected while also reattaching the Drive Belt. During the last step bleed the power steering system while checking for fluid leaks.
