Great info! I just replaced my steering pump this past weekend on my 03 Ford f150 lightning and added power steering but not ATF anyways steered good for a little bit amd didnt squeel and sound like the pump before but now steering is hard? Could my pressure hose be bad or was it that i used regular power steering

William P Branham says:

on a 2002 f150 lariat; after replacing high pressure line, you take the power steering cap off reservoir, fill reservoir (leaving cap off) turn steering wheel left and back to the right a couple of times) top-off reservoir and re-install cap. Is that correct?

I did this on my 1997 F-150 4.6 without cutting a line, cutting tools, or removing anything (including the oil filter) but it will cost ya a few bucks in special tools.

Clean fittings with brake clean.
Soak fittings with a rust penetrant. I used CRC Knock’er Loose. Let soak a few hours.

Tools:

1. Gear Wrench 16-18 mm swivel head flare nut wrench. 81690

2. Gear Wrench 13-14mm swivel head flare nut wrench. 81688

(These are NOT the ratchet head ones which won’t work. These are swivel head only. Or you can buy a set of 6 of these which include these wrenches. Gear Wrench 81911D )

3. Gear Wrench 18 mm stubby combination wrench 81642.

4. A pair of vise grips.

Working from the bottom of vehicle, remove the steering box end of hose with swivel head flare wrench. Might be 14 mm or 16 mm depending on the brand of hose. Example: OEM will be 16mm and a Gates will be 14mm.

Now take 18mm swivel head flare nut wrench and work it all the way on and seated to the power steering pump fitting. You will have to swivel the head so that the wrench handle angles almost straight down. Clamp vise grips firmly on the other swivel head at a 90 degree angle to clear bottom of vehicle. Take one hand (with a rag or gloves on!) to hold the wrench head firmly down on the pump fitting while you use other hand to use the vise grips to twist the wrench. Angle out the wrench handle as far wide as room allows to gain leverage. Pop! Piece of cake!

Use the stubby 18mm combo wrench to unscrew the pump fitting the rest of the way. Takes awhile but it’s easy.

You’re welcome! 😉

Just did it on an 01 4×4. Get an 11/16 box end, notch out with grinder to fit around line and cut to about 5" long to make a stubby flare nut wrench. Remove oil filter to give wrenching room. Worked fine to get hose off pump without removing pump.

dcautovlog says:

I have a 05 mustang and it looks similar to end of the hose at least. I can’t get it out. I finally got the end at the pump out but can’t get t he side out of the rack. Any ideas?? It is stuck!

alwaysrouz says:

For the power steering pressure like that threads in the bottom of the pump, just remove the oil filter, you'll get alot more room there. Get an 18mm crowfoot or a stubby wrench and undo the fitting on the power steering pump side. Then on the steering box side, 15mm crowfoot would help alot

Taylor Feuerbacher says:

Anyone else's high pressure line comd with a o ring Nd Teflon seal on the pump end? Should both be used?

Ernie Beswick says:

Great video looking to see it any play in the new high pressure line

You make look so easy

Mines a 2010 f-150 the oil sprayed out i got a new power steal and poured it in and it started leaking trough a hose close to the radiator the hose was pretty lose i wonder it its that bit the pipe going up ti the radiator is a bit bent when i pulled the pipe back to pour oil in to see if it would run better and i turned the truck on and move the steering wheel it pulled back and more sprayed out do you think the pipe might have a leak or need to be replaced completely??

Tyler Bone says:

Just a heads up for anyone doing this on an 01 F150 with the 5.4, the fitting that goes on the steering box is actually a 16mm or 5/8”, not a 14. Save y’all a headache lol. Otherwise everything else is exactly the same!

Chris Argue says:

It is entirely possible to change the high pressure line without taking the belt, pump or pulley off. I just did it last night. I won't say it was fun… or that it wasn't an exercise in patience… but it is entirely possible.
