The 14mm wrench is what i used to loosen the tensioner for removing the
serpentine belt.

Juan Antonio García says:

thank you richie, my car is a saturn 1999 sl1, but in another video I saw
you used a 14mm to loose the tensioner. I’m confused now, hehehe

richpin06a says:

Hello…on the Saturn s-series i use a 10mm six point socket.

Juan Antonio García says:

Hi richie I’m from Mexico, I want to know what size is the wrench for the
tensioner, for removing the serpentine belt??

richpin06a says:

The EVO firms up the steering when you are beyond a certain speed.

C Hax says:

When trying to re-install the power steering pump I somehow pulled off the
connector that connects to the EVO solenoid off the wires. Do I have to
replace it? I’m not sure what it does. I’d rather not have to pull the pump
again if possible. Thanks!

richpin06a says:

You are a very good person to work on her car.

Thank you richpin

becauseisedso1 says:

Your vids are extremely helpful my niece has this dohc and i always have to
wrk on it and i always watch you first…lol thanks again

richpin06a says:

I am not sure how much room there would be with the pulley on.

C Hax says:

I am about to replace the steering gear from my 1995 Saturn SC2. You
recommended removing the power steering pump to make it easier to remove
the hoses. Since I am not replacing the pump do I need to remove the pulley
in order to remove the hoses? Your videos are great. Thanks!

bruce fleming says:

so i need to totally mount the pump and bracket in the car … ? and then
install the pulley ?

richpin06a says:

If you have all the parts i do not see why you could not convert it over to
power steering.

richpin06a says:

No partly install like in the video.

bruce fleming says:

ok so i am having to replace the pulley because the original one is cracked
in a few places close to the center. …….but anyway.. how do install
this now? install the new pulley on the new pump and then install the pump
in the car? ..the pulley cant be installed on the pump after the pump is in
the car.. i read in the saturn forum that the motor mount has to be taken
off and the engine jacked up before the pump can be installed.. i hope i
dont have to do that…

bruce fleming says:

well from looking at the video.. it looks like the pulley is about as far
down as it will go.. none of the shaft should be showing i assume..

PsychoCPU says:

Did they change the exhaust manifold from 97 to 98? My 97 SL2 doesn’t have
the “squared off” manifold like that.

richpin06a says:

It restricts pressure to the rack over a certain RPM to firm up the feel of
the steering.

tillicome2288 says:

wow another instalike awesome video!!

sacrisaila says:

actually its a sohc. I pulled a pump from a junkyard with a pulley on it.
can i replace the whole thing. i mean, i dont have that fancy pulley tool.
seems easier without taking the pulley out of the old one. know what i mean?

richpin06a says:

It restricts the pressure to the rack over a certain rpm to firm up the
feel of the steering.

ChadHHC86 says:

i know ive been posting on older videos but i was wondering if it is
possible to add power steering to my 1999 SL 1.9l 5 speed i guess ive been
spoiled in the past

richpin06a says:

If you have a DOHC yes

richpin06a says:

Yes you can replace the pump and pulley together.And i might add it is
easier to do on the SOHC.

cjtf says:

When I watch these videos I always think “that was so easy…” but at the
same time I know that if I hadnt watched this video I would never manage it
…thanks a lot Rich. Excellent videos.

richpin06a says:

I have used that one on ever vehicle i can think of.

Derek Hummel says:

On my 3rd gen, there is enough wiggle in the hoses to not have to mess with
the line clip. Also, the EVO connector is a whole lot less aggravating if
you disconnect it after the pump is loose.

bruce fleming says:

and what about bleeding the line? do i really need to do that?

richpin06a says:

97 and 98 were the same.

bruce fleming says:

but if i install the pump first.. then i wont have enough room to get the
pulley between the shaft and fire wall …will i ?

MisterMattyMo says:

What does the solenoid do on the power steering pump?

richpin06a says:

I have it in pictures but no videos.

richpin06a says:

Most have background music from my radio which i am removing.

richpin06a says:

Please bear with me as i redo some of the Saturn videos over the next
couple of days.

karlakatie1522 says:

Hi rich I own a Toyota truck, I was checking out my inner tie rods, I
pulled the bellows boot off, and got a handful of fluid…are these trucks
supposed to have some fluid in the boot..it’s a 04 tundra..thanx rich

bruce fleming says:

ok im about to try this job on my 97 SL1 right now in just a minute.. ive
never done this… its a SOHC and will i need to remove the pulley before i
can remove the power steering pump? .. i hope its not damaged.. it was
locking up and smoking.. with the shaft coming out about half way.. i
knocked it back in..

Scott Benton says:

Just pulled and replaced on my SOHC SL-1… and then, in the bottom of the
box for the new pump, found a replacement O-ring for the high pressure
line. I’m going to tie a little piece of a white rag under the connection
and watch that really closely for any leakage at all. But FYI for anyone
else doing this job, don’t forget about that O-ring. I don’t think I can
get to it now without pulling the pump again 🙁

Charlie Prince says:

please just keep posting, i’m learning a lot, at least more than i’m
learning at tech school

spelunkerd says:

These are great videos, though they would be even better with a word about
diagnostics. Was the pump leaking from it’s seals? I presume if the pump is
leaking your best option is to swap out the whole pump….

richpin06a says:

You will have to pry them from my dead hands.

grjr says:

hey rich, looks like someone is using your video to sell their goods, might
want to flag the vid. jqNTJqPvDxg

richpin06a says:

There is not supposed to be fluid in the boot sounds like your steering
gear might be developing a leak.

bruce fleming says:

also…. installing the pulley on the new pump.. do i need that puller
again i guess? or can i tap it on somehow? the whole shaft came out of the
old one… i didnt know that the new pump came with a new shaft already set
in the pump…

richpin06a says:

Thank you for spotting that.How do i flag the vid.

ICU2 says:

Another job well done sir!
