Under the front of the vehicle, just behind the radiator and in front of the steering rack there is a small cooling radiator. ( About 5" by 12" overall ). On each end you'll find a mounting flange. They will need to be sprayed well with a rust breaker of some kind ( WD-40, Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster Or similar. ) The nuts are 11/16 (in my case) And are probably rusted. I used a combo wrench and worked them till they were off. The lines are rubber and held with clamps. If they are like mine they were installed on the cooler before they were installed on the car. You'll need to work them around to the front with a pair of pliers and squeeze them to work them AWAY from the cooler. Have a bucket handy 'cause now it gets messy! Work the lines from the cooler (or the cooler from the lines) and try not to make a mess 'cause the PS fluid will run out. Install the new one in the reverse. One note; In order to make mine go into the lines I had to bend the driver side mount out of the way and put it back after the lines were secured. The whole process ( Including gathering tools and clean up took me just less than an hour {At 20 degrees F}) Good Luck and be safe.

How do you change power steering cooler on 1994 Pontiac Bonneville?
I just replaced the power steering cooler on my wife's 1994 Pontiac Bonneville on Sunday, April 20th 2008. It took me about three hours and I purchased the cooler at AutoZone. After jacking the car up, I disconnected the line from the power steering pump to the cooler and drained the fluid into a bucket. Then I cut the other cooler line near the cooler to drain from the power steering box. AutoZone included a fitting to the box. Unfortunately, I couldn't remove and replace it so I simply cut the line with a pipe cutter tool after the 90 degree bend. I removed the excess old coolant line from the cooler to the box. I removed the mounting bolt from the old cooler bracket and removed the old cooler and bracket. I cut the bracket off the old cooler and placed it on the new cooler using the plastic tie straps included in the kit from AutoZone and bolted it in place. I connected the line from the power steering pump to the cooler. Then using the line included in the kit connected it from the new cooler to the cut line to the box. I added new power steering fluid and I was back in business.

Unsure but PS fluid seems to be leaking from it Is there a PS cooler at the front?
You need to specify your make, model of car. Some cars have power steering coolers in front of the radiator and some don't. Most powers teering leaks come from the power steering pump seal going bad which can be temporarily fixed by using an additive like Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak. It's a little pricey but can get you by and has stopped leaks in my power steering units. If the leak or seal is real bad then you will need to replace the pump, and it may or may not have the reservoir attached to it. Most cars do not have the power steering cooler but some of todays high performance cars do and if something has punctured the cooler, or the lines leading to it, then you may need to replace the cooler or hose. Identify your car and try to determine where the exact leak is and then repost for better help.
