Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on GMC Acadia?
A: The first step to replace remote Power Steering Reservoir requires removal of the fuel injector sight shield. The remote Power Steering Reservoir requires maximum drainage before you place collecting pans beneath the vehicle. To start the upgrade, compress the Power Steering Reservoir inlet hose clamp until you disconnect the hose from the remote Power Steering Reservoir. Then do the same to the Power Steering Reservoir outlet hose by compressing its clamp next to disconnecting the hose. Take out the remote Power Steering Reservoir by removing its bolts. Begin by mounting the remote Power Steering Reservoir and fasten it in place with the remote Power Steering Reservoir bolts while torquing them to 9 n.m (80 lb in). Around the reservoir attach the outlet Power Steering Hose and clamp and then add the inlet Power Steering Hose with its clamp. Wipe off all surplus fluid from the vehicle before taking away drain pans. Power steering system filling must be followed by bleeding then reinstallation of the fuel injector sight shield.
Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: The first step to change a Power Steering Reservoir is to detach the Power Steering Pump assembly from the vehicle structure. The first step is removing the Power Steering Pump assembly studs followed by removal of the Power Steering Pump fitting and its associated fitting seal. After disconnecting the Power Steering Pump flow control valve along with its spring you need to separate the Power Steering Reservoir from the pump. The Power Steering Reservoir magnet requires cleaning followed by checking the welch plug inside the Power Steering Pump without pulling the device out. Disfigurement or displacement of the plug indicates pump replacement. To assemble the system first apply cleaning to the Power Steering Reservoir magnet and after install the Power Steering Pump seals numbered 1, 4, and 5 onto the pump device followed by connecting the reservoir unit to the pump. Affix the spring for the flow control valve and the valve to the pump assembly after which apply the fitting seal. Use your hands first to start the Power Steering Reservoir studs and the flow control valve fitting before tightening all torques to their specified values. Screw in the Power Steering Pump fitting onto the pump assembly while torquing it to 75 nm (55 lb ft). After that, install the Power Steering Reservoir studs to the pump assembly then torque them until they reach 58 nm (44 lb ft). Place the Power Steering Pump assembly back inside the vehicle as the final step.
Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on GMC Canyon?
A: Put the hydraulic pump on a stationary flat surface to perform replacement of the Power Steering Reservoir. Set up the pump with its shaft in a vertical position. A screwdriver will help extend the retaining clip tab which clears the way for the reservoir clip to move away from the hydraulic pump assembly. The second reservoir clip should be removed before extracting the reservoir from the hydraulic pump housing. Discard both O-ring seals that are located in the neck section of the reservoir and inside the hydraulic pump housing. Place new O-ring seal in power steering fluid before setting it into the neck section of the reservoir. The next step requires installing the reservoir onto the hydraulic pump assembly with security in placing the reservoir neck correctly into position. Secure the feet of the reservoir to the sides of the hydraulic pump housing by installing new retaining clips which must extend properly into the hydraulic pump housing.
