Removal

Exploded View Steering Pump:

CAUTION: Pump components are made of aluminum. Be careful not to damage them when servicing.


^ Clean all of the disassembled parts thoroughly.

^ Replace all O-rings and seals. Do not dip new O-rings and seals in solvent; coat O-rings with steering grease before installation, and make sure they stay in place during reassembly.

^ The shaded parts are selectively fitted, and should not be disassembled except to replace seals. If any one of them is faulty, replace the whole pump as an assembly.

NOTE: Before disconnecting the hoses from the pump, place a suitable container under the car.

1. Drain the fluid from the system.
2. Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump and plug them.
3. Remove the belt by loosening the special bolt, nut and adjusting bolt.

NOTE: Take care not to spill the fluid on the body and parts. Wipe off the spilled fluid at once.

CAUTION:
^ Make sure that the power steering belt is securely on the groove of the pulleys.
