• Q: How to replace the power steering pump (LY7) (3.6L) on 2009 Cadillac SRX?

  A: The initial step for replacing the Power Steering Pump (LY7) (3.6L) begins with front air deflector removal followed by placement of drain pans below the vehicle when necessary. Extract all power steering fluid from the remote power steering fluid reservoir while keeping the system intact and then unfasten the air cleaner assembly. Following the removal of the Power Steering Pump pulley you should disconnect the power steering fluid reservoir outlet hose and the power steering gear inlet hose from the pump. Start by removing bracket bolts from the Power Steering Pump then pull out both components from the vehicle. The mechanic should find a place to set down the Power Steering Pump bracket when needed. The Power Steering Pump along with its bracket needs to be installed back into the vehicle with bracket bolts tightened using a sequence and torque to 50 nm (37 lb ft). Install the power steering gear inlet hose followed by the power steering fluid reservoir outlet hose while you clean accumulated power steering fluid from the area and remove all drain pans.

To complete the process fill the power steering system then perform a bleeding procedure.
