Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on Buick LeSabre?
A: The service and repair of the power steering reservoir begins with setting the hydraulic pump on a fixed flat surface while positioning the shaft upwards. A screwdriver should be used to push the retaining clip tab out before removing the reservoir clip away from the hydraulic pump assembly. You should repeat this procedure to extract the second reservoir clip followed by removal of the reservoir from its position inside the hydraulic pump housing. The operator needs to eliminate and discard the O-ring seal present at the reservoir neck or at the hydraulic pump housing area. The new O-ring seal requires power steering fluid as a lubricant before installation on the reservoir neck for assembly. Attach the reservoir onto the hydraulic pump assembly so its neck properly fits. Secure the new reservoir retaining clips according to pump guidelines by positioning them properly against the hydraulic pump housing until the tabs fit into the housing correctly.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on Buick LaCrosse?
A: The replacement process of the remote Power Steering Reservoir starts with draining power steering fluid from the reservoir. Remove the coolant recovery reservoir then disconnect both electrical harness clips at the underhood junction block and the Coolant Reservoir. The replacement process begins with separating the ecm wire harness from its clip on the reservoir and continuing with Power Steering Hose disconnection from the Power Steering Reservoir. Pull out the Power Steering Reservoir with its bracket assembly by detaching bracket bolts from the vehicle and using caps to seal the Power Steering Reservoir alongside the hoses against contamination. Begin the procedure by uncapping Power Steering Reservoir tubing then install fundamentals by fitting the bracket to the vehicle and using an 9 nm torque setting on m6 bolts coupled with a 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) torque specification on m8 bolts. Route the Power Steering Reservoir hoses to their destination at the Power Steering Reservoir and return the coolant recovery reservoir into place while attaching the ecm wire harness to its mount on the reservoir. Last steps include connecting the electrical harness at the underhood junction block and Coolant Reservoir and filling the Power Steering Reservoir with fluid while performing system bleeding before examining for fluid leaks.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on Buick Regal?
A: Start the Power Steering Reservoir servicing and repair by setting the hydraulic pump on a level stable surface with its shaft in an upward position. A screwdriver will help open the retaining clip tab while the steward slides the reservoir clip along the hydraulic pump assembly. Remove the second reservoir clip while repeating the process until the reservoir now exists from the hydraulic pump housing. Remove and dispose of the O-ring seal present at either the hydraulic pump housing or at the reservoir neck. Phase two of the installation requires power steering fluid application on the seal before installation on the reservoir neck. Install the reservoir onto the hydraulic pump assembly while verifying the reservoir neck completely inserts into its position. Install new retaining clips as provided by the pump onto the reservoir feet but keep the clip tabs inside the hydraulic pump housing.
