SERVICE INFORMATION
The power steering pump internal components are
not serviced or adjusted. If a malfunction or an inter-
nal fluid leak occurs, the complete unit must be re-
placed. A reservoir, cap, and O-ring seal kit are the
only service components available.
PRESSURE AND RETURN HOSE REPLACEMENT
Cap hose open ends and pump/steering gear fit-
tings to prevent entry of foreign material.
WARNING: POWER STEERING FLUID (AND PUMP
COMPONENTS) AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM CAN
BE EXTREMELY HOT IF THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
RECENTLY OPERATING. DO NOT START THE EN-
GINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DISCONNECTED
HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW THE HOSES TO TOUCH A
HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove fasteners from hose retaining brackets
at all locations.(2) If applicable, remove pressure sensor from
pressure hose (Fig. 1, 2).
(3) Disconnect pressure and return hose from the
steering gear. Drain the fluid from pump and reser-
voir (Fig. 1, 2, 3).
(4) Disconnect pressure and return hose from the
pump. Remove hoses from vehicle (Fig. 1, 2, 3).
INSTALLATION
(1) Wipe hose ends, pump and gear unions clean.
(2) Connect hose at steering gear and pump. Route
hose while avoiding extreme bends or kinks.The
hose must be kept away from exhaust system
components.Do not distort hose tube ends by bend-
ing, kinking or over tightening.
(3) If applicable, install and tighten pressure sen-
sor to 28 Nzm (252 in. lbs.) torque (Fig. 1, 2).
(4) When used, the protective foam sleeves must be
properly positioned on the hose to prevent chafing.
(5) Tighten fittings at pump and gear to 35 Nzm
(25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Install clamps on return hose on gear, pump
and reservoir.
