Q: How to Properly Install a Power Steering Hose on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The first step to replace a power steering cooler pipe/hose on ly7 vehicles begins with vehicle lifting and removing right-hand tire and wheel assembly then moving onto the steering gear heat shield's snap mechanism. Under the Power Steering Hose-gear junction, set up a drain pan before you disconnect the pressure hose from the power steering gear to remove the power steering cooler pipe from its location on the gear. First disconnect the cooler pipe from its rear/rh cradle clips while the vehicle is at its lowered position before breaking the connection at the power steering return hose. Pull the cooler pipe outside through the inner wheel opening of the vehicle. After positioning the new power steering cooler pipe through the inner wheel opening connect it directly to the power steering return hose. Raising the vehicle requires fastener precautions followed by proper installation of the power steering gear cooler pipe while tightening its fittings to 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). Next install the gear power steering pressure hose tightly to 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.) before attaching the cooler pipe clips to their cradle position. After installing the steering gear heat shield (snap type) you must reinstall the tire and wheel assembly while discarding the drain pan. The maintenance process requires lowering the vehicle while filling power steering fluid into the system then bleeding it out before leak inspection.
Q: How to Replace a Power Steering Hose in the Fluid Reservoir Outlet on Buick Enclave?
A: Start the replacement of the power steering fluid reservoir outlet hose by taking away the fuel injector sight shield. The technician should begin by draining as much power steering fluid from the remote power steering fluid reservoir and should place drain pans underneath the vehicle. The outlet hose of the power steering fluid reservoir needs to be disconnected from both the remote power steering fluid reservoir and Power Steering Pump after removing any attached clips. Pull the outlet hose away from the vehicle after disconnecting it from its position. You should place the new outlet hose into position while keeping the power steering fluid reservoir hose attached to its initial routing. Secure the outlet hose by connecting it between the Power Steering Pump and the remote power steering fluid reservoir. Preclean the car of fluid residues while disposing of drain pans. The process concludes with power steering system filling along with bleeding and a return of the fuel injector sight shield.
Q: How to replace the Power Steering Hose Return Line on Buick Regal?
A: The replacement of p/s return line begins with removing the accessory Drive Belt following procedures for l36 or l67 engine types. Properly raise the car and place a drain pan beneath it to collect power steering fluid as it drains. The power steering return hose requires removal from power steering gear cooler pipe and Power Steering Pump while being detached from the Power Steering Hose retainer to take the hose off the vehicle body. After hose installation begin by fitting the power steering return hose to the Power Steering Hose retainer and after that to the Power Steering Pump and power steering gear cooler pipe. Install the tire and wheel assembly then take out drain pan before letting the vehicle drop down to its original position. Install the accessory Drive Belt following the appropriate instructions for devices with l36 or l67 engine versions. Pour power steering fluid into the reservoir before performing a power steering system bleed then overlook any power steering fluid leaks.
