Q: How to replace the Power Steering Cooler without hydroboost on Cadillac Escalade?
A: The procedure to replace the Power Steering Cooler works without hydroboost begins by removing the fascia grille as well as the radiator grille reinforcement support when available. The technician should empty enough power steering fluid from the reservoir while setting down drain pans beneath the car. Disconnect both components of the power steering system by removing the Power Steering Cooler hose connecting to the Power Steering Cooler and the Power Steering Cooler hose that joins the Power Steering Pump. Steampower technicians should dismount the Power Steering Cooler by removing the bolts beforehand then extracting the unit from the vehicle. Place the new Power Steering Cooler into position and fasten it with bolts while tightening them to 9 nm (80 lb in). Return the Power Steering Cooler hose to connect to the Power Steering Pump while reattaching the power steering gear outlet hose to the Power Steering Cooler. Wipe off all remaining fluid before you eliminate the drain pans and perform a power steering system bleeding and filling. The radiator grille reinforcement support and the fascia grille need to be reinstalled if such components are present in the system.
