I’m still have trouble with the steering it is still hard only when I
accelerate is when it work properly. What could it be
POPPASHANGO is correct. I just did one on a (similar) 1991 Buick Regal 3.8L
Remove radiator reservoir and plastic inner fender on passenger
side.Fitting is 16mm under pump. Underneath, loosen and move heat shield as
needed. undue plastic clip holding hoses to rack. There is no room from the
bottom to get to fitting on the rack end. I removed the air cleaner
assembly, flexible air inlet hose, fuel evap. solenoid line. You can get
your left hand in that way above the trans. Right hand/arm down along
firewall. I used an 1/2- inch drive ratchet. a long (18″-24″) extension, a
1/2″ impact universal joint , a 1/2″ to 3/8″ adapter, another universal
joint and finally an 18mm flare nut crowfoot to get it off. Once loose, use
a stubby wrench to get it off. Start it on with hand then use stubby wrench
and crowfoot setup described to tighten at the end. The 1/2″ impact swivel
is a ball socket type (Craftsman 19492) Use elec. tape on the other 3/8″
chrome u-joint to keep it from flexing too much. Good Luck.
I understood it just fine. Great video Rich!
This vid made me so mad due to the fact that you skipped the hardest part.
How the hell did you get the bottom bolt back on??????????????????????????
My car is still jacked up in the air waiting on somebody to make a decent
vid SMFH
Do you have a part number or know the name/brand of the tool used to remove
the pushpins? I hate those friggin things.
Do we know where the steering box is? The video just suddenly appeared at
the proper location. Do any shields need to be removed to access it? My
baby is losing huge amounts of fluid. Don’t know yet which line is leaking,
or if it’s even a line. It was losing fluid and making lots of noise a
couple of months ago, so I replaced the factory pump. The leak was sudden
and one-time then, because it worked good for these past two months. Never
saw where the initial leak was, though. I just assumed it was the pump
itself. Just one day the noise of air in the lines and a dry reservoir.
Then last week I noticed a small amount of fluid on the driveway. Now it’s
gushing. Probably a leak all along…..
I’m lost on how to get the line back on I’m lost on why the fk people in
these comments are saying this was a good vid. WTF
Do you have the tutorial how can i change the power steering pump on a
malibu ls 1999? Thanks
Is the same proces in a malibu ls?
I have been thinking about buying a 98-03 corolla and doing a bunch of
repair videos for people like you.
can u give me any tips on taking out the power steering pressure hose from
a toyota camry 94-95 v6 sedan..i think thats were the leak is from, im
trying to make sure 2 see if what im lookin at is actually the pressure
hose or not..its not connected to the container where i pour fluid in, but
its seems to b connected to the pump..it sits far back and low, feels like
a metal pipe, connects low and then rises up over and down again, but it
squirts all crazy when i steer and runs out of liquid fast.
@little4685 I used a open end 18mm wrench.
Pressure wash that engine.
Great vid as always richpin06a. I have watched every video (some twice) Now
that my kids are driving I have become a mechanic for 5 family cars and
have used many of your videos to get the job done. The clarity of this
video is amazing, may I ask what camera you are using?
Those power steering pressure hoses are a pain to get off. I got one taken
off of my mother’s 2000 Saab today, that one was a pain in the butt.
@richpin06a Ty sir. Apparently my mechanic gave up and sent my car to his
friend. They finally manage to fix it by replacing a reconditioned Power
Steering rack, which cost much more than my initial simple replacement of a
pressure hose. Lol
Thank you for taking the time to make the video!
@richpin06a Yep i did that once on a honda line.
very informative,now more than I did before. I have a power steering hose
leak recall on my ’06 impala. Now I have an idea of what to expect. thanks
@kimonui I cut it with a tool called a “mini hacksaw”
It sounds like some other mechanic who said it would be a tough job….:)
Just to get some business..
Also i forgot to ask what did u use to cut the hose?
thumb high, ,about air in the system after, does it purge itself normally
with the fluid filled up to the line in steering fluid box(with the cap
closed while driving i assume!!!) ???
Richpin. I have a 2001 VW Jetta. 2.0. Ever replaced a line on one of those?
Not sure it’s the pressure line but it’s the line from the back of the
resevoir and goes down along the rack over to the steering box. If you have
some experience here, what tools would I need to get each end off?
Nuts, I was hoping you were replacing the return line under the car. I have
a ’98 Lumina and there is a curly shaped metal line under the car which has
a slow leak due to age. Do you have a video on a similar replacement?
Thanks much.
Great video !
@ak12543 I am using a Samsung TL105
Nice job Rich! Thanks for making this video. I was under my 2003 Hyundai
Tiburon an hour ago watching the oil dripping from a rusted out power
steering line. Now I feel empowered to fix it myself.
I do not at this time and you are right in that the engine compartment is
different.
Nice Video! My power steering pump pressure line just busted and i had no
idea how to fix it. Well now i do thanks to your video!
Thanks
Wow!! Where did the line develop a leak? RL
Lucky on that model car the fittings are fairly elatively easy to get to.
Not so on mine. The pump end is not so bad. But the end going into the rack
is deeply recessed behind the frame crossmember and no room for wrenches or
leverage.
The return line goes from the pump to the steering gear.
I used a tool called a mini hacksaw.
the way i purge the system of all the air is to fill the pump the start the
engine and turn the wheels alll the way right,left,right then make smaller
turns while idling until the noise stops withe the cap off never had a prob
yet but great video i alway love learning new trick and some time teach
some…lol
If i could see this part i might be able to figure it out.
Thanks for the vid. I just changed the power steering pump on a 2000 Grand
Prix and I still have a leak. I think I will be doing this project next
weekend once I find a place to get a replacement line.
I am not sure what size the o ring is.
Yes i think it is different.
twist ur steering wheel and have someone look for leaks. it will squirt
that shit out
The am glad you could fix it yourself and save money to boot.
@rlewis1946 In the rubber part of the line
