Removal Procedures
- Disconnect the power steering return hose from the remote reservoir or pump. Allow the fluid to drain from this hose into a drain pan. Discard the used fluid.
- Loosen the bracket or belt tension adjusting bolt, and the pump mounting bolt.
- Loosen the belt tension until the belt can be removed. On some cars, it is necessary to lift the vehicle on a hoist and gain access to the power steering pump from underneath the vehicle.
- Remove the hoses from the pump, and cap the pump fittings and hoses.
- Remove the belt tension adjusting bolt and the mounting bolt, and remove the pump.
- Check the pump mounting bolts and bolt holes for wear. Worn bolts must be replaced. If the bolt mounting holes in the pump are worn, pump replacement is necessary.

Sidebar: If there are o-rings on the pressure hose, good time to replace them
Bleed the system
- Bleed air from the power steering system by turning the wheels side-to-side and hold there for a few seconds each. Watch for air bubbles in the reservoir to stop.
NOTE: An abrupt rise in the fluid level after turning the engine off is a sign of there still being more air in the system. Go back and do it again.
The return hose will be the bottom hose. brewski
