Always refer to authorized service procedures for specific vehicles when servicing the power steering system. 1. Flush and bleed the system using the proper special tools. Any residual contaminants will result in pump failure. Verify that the filter (screen material) in the reservoir is clean and free of contamination. Low or no pressure from the power steering pump may be the result of dirty or contaminated fluid. This will cause the relief valve to stop functioning. 2. Remove the pulley using the proper tool. Distorting the pulley may damage bearings on the new pump. Pulley alignment is crucial. 3. Use the new O-rings included with the replacement pump. The new reservoir O-ring must be lubricated with OE-specific Power Steering Fluid prior to installation. 4. Properly install the pulley onto the new pump‘s drive shaft. Installation tools are included with each replacement pump. 5. Use only the recommended Power Steering Fluid that is specific to the vehicle. 6. Properly bleed the system to avoid damaging the pump.
