Removal and Installation
REMOVAL - POWER STEERING PUMPNOTE: Before proceeding with this procedure, Refer to Service Precautions.
1. Remove battery cable from the negative post on the battery.
2. Siphon as much fluid as possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.
3. Remove the power steering pump drive belt from the power steering pump pulley.
4. Remove the hose clamp securing the return hose to the power steering fluid reservoir. Slide the hose off the end of the reservoir fitting (Fig. 3).
5. Back out the tube nut securing the power steering fluid pressure hose to the power steering pump (Fig. 3), then remove the hose from the pump.
6. Remove the mounting bolt securing the support bracket to the rear of the power steering pump (Fig. 4).
7. Loosen the two mounting bolts securing the support bracket to the engine block (Fig. 4).
8. Remove the three mounting bolts holding the power steering pump to the cast bracket (Fig. 5). Access to the mounting bolts can be achieved through the holes in the pump pulley.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the screw holding the A/C line routing clamp to the radiator upper closure panel (Fig. 6).
9. Remove the power steering pump with reservoir from the engine.
10. For transferal of the power steering pump pulley, Refer to PUMP - DISASSEMBLY.
INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
1. Install the power steering pump with reservoir and pulley on the engine and install the three mounting bolts securing the pump to the cast bracket (Fig. 5). Tighten the three bolts to a torque of 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.).
2. Install the mounting bolt securing the support bracket to the rear of the power steering pump (Fig. 4). Do not completely tighten the bolt at this time.
3. Install the two mounting bolts securing the support bracket to the engine block (Fig. 4). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.).
4. Tighten the mounting bolt securing the support bracket to the rear of the power steering pump to a torque of 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.).
5. Install the power steering pump drive belt on the power steering pump pulley.
6. Using a lint free towel, wipe clean all open power steering hose ends and power steering pump fittings.
7. Install a new O-ring on the end of the power steering pressure hose. Lubricate the O-ring using clean power steering fluid.
8. Attach the power steering fluid pressure hose to the pressure fitting on the lower end of the power steering pump (Fig. 3). Thread the tube nut securing the power steering fluid pressure hose into the power steering pump pressure fitting. Tighten the tube nut to at torque of 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
9. Slide the power steering fluid return hose onto the fluid reservoir fitting (Fig. 3). Position the hose clamp so it is installed on the hose past the bead formed into the fluid reservoir fitting.
10. If previously disconnected, attach the A/C line routing clamp to the radiator upper closure panel (Fig. 6).
11. Perform the POWER STEERING PUMP INITIAL OPERATION procedure.
12. Check for leaks.
