Power steering pump 1991 Seville

How do I replace the power steering pump for a 1991 Cadillac Seville? I already have new pump with attached pulley. Will I need to pull pulley from old pump to remove and vise versa for install? Thanks.

How to remove my power steering pump

hope this one help http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/maintenance/3322636
This instructable is designed into four main parts. Here's the outline:

1) Gather the materials
-- Instructable step 1 - This includes tools, a new pump, fluids, etc.
2) Remove the leaking pump
-- Instructable step 2 - Drain the Power Steering system
-- Instructable step 3 - Remove accessories from Power Steering system
-- Instructable step 4 - Remove the pulley and bolts
-- Instructable step 5 - Remove power steering pump
3) Install the new pump
-- Instructable step 6 - Place the new power steering pump
-- Instructable step 7 - Press on the power steering pump pulley
-- Instructable step 8 - Align the pulley and attach the belts
-- Instructable step 9 - Flush and fill the power steering system
4) Cleanup
-- Instructable step 10 - Cleanup

You'll need some tools to complete this task. Before you start, gather the necessary equipment -- you will not be able to use the car once you start the replacement! It is always a good idea to have a friend on call, or a second car available.

Equipment list:

  • Power Steering pump (to replace defective pump)
  • Two (2) quarts power steering fluid or appropriate ATF (to flush and fill). More than 2 quarts if flushing the rack is desired.
  • Power Steering Pulley Puller set (to remove and attach the pulley). Some auto parts stores will loan the tool sets.
  • Socket set.
  • Open end wrench set (for use with puller set).
  • Leverage pipe or extension bar (in case the pulley is hardened on the spindle).
  • Drain pan (to drain & flush power steering system).
  • Wheel bearing grease for sliding pulley on the pump hub.
  • 2' wood 1x2 for assistance with aligning the pulleys. Any straight tool will work fine -- a level, metal rod, wood, whatever.

Where is the power steering fluid in my 1991 deville

Hello: The power steering pump and fluid reservoir sit on the top of the engine toward the radiator on the passenger side, there should be a cap on top in back of the pulley that will come off, on the bottom side of the cap there is a dip stick, fill the reservoir to the line on the cap. Use power steering fluid, DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE.

Replace power steering pulley

You can get a loaner pulley puller from autozone, and after you remove the belt you can pull the pulley.

Cant turn my car hardly. heard a pop sound and then it became very hard to turn. there are no visable leaks. what sound i do?

There are two things that control the power steering. The power steering pump and the steering gear. If there are no leaks then I would look to see if the power steering pump shaft is broken. Remove the serpentine belt and see if you can remove the pulley from the pump by pulling on it. If this is ok then there is a problem in the steering gear itself
