Q: How do you remove and replace a power steering pump?
A: To remove and replace a power steering pump, start by using a large syringe or suction gun to remove as much fluid as possible from the power steering fluid reservoir. Place a drain pan underneath the vehicle to catch any spilled fluid. Next, remove the drivebelt and disconnect the return hose and pressure line fitting from the power steering pump using a flare-nut wrench. Then, remove the mounting bolts securing the pump to the mounting bracket and remove the pump. To install the new pump, reverse the removal steps, making sure to tighten the mounting bolts and line and hose fittings securely. Install the drivebelt and fill the power steering reservoir with the recommended fluid. Finally, bleed the power steering hydraulic system.
