Pump Replacement
- Place a suitable container under the vehicle.
- Drain the power steering fluid from the reservoir.
- Remove the drive belt (A) from the pump pulley (see DRIVE BELT INSPECTION ).
- Remove the pump mounting bolts (B).
- Cover the auto-tensioner, alternator, and A/C compressor with several shop towels to protect it from spilled power steering fluid. Disconnect the pump inlet hose (C) and pump outlet hose (D) from the pump (E), and plug them. Take care not to spill the fluid on the body or parts. Wipe off any spilled fluid at once. Do not turn the steering wheel with the pump removed.
- Connect the pump outlet hose and inlet hose to the pump. Tighten the pump fittings securely.
- Install the pump in the pump bracket with the mounting bolts.
- Install the drive belt (A).
Note these items during drive belt installation:
- Make sure that the drive belt is properly positioned on the pulleys (B).
- Do not get the power steering fluid or grease on the auto-tensioner, alternator, A/C compressor, and drive belt, or pulley faces. Clean off any fluid or grease before installation.
- Fill the reservoir to the upper level line (see FLUID REPLACEMENT ).
