Power steering pump seized causing the belt to break and tensioner to bend. Need to replace the power steering pump and tensioner. If anyone has had any experience with replacing either of these, a video would be very helpful. Thank you in advance
If you have nor replaced one before then i say have someone do it. you end up taking off parts ( other brackets ) that have nothing to do with power steering, so you end up taking alot of other parts of until you get to the pump. it is alot of work. if you are going to do it? spend a couple of bucks and pick up a manual at autozone and it will show you step by step. sorry i have no video

SOURCE: power steering pump blew a hose off and now whines.
Have you checked the level of fluid in the pump? If it is full, you may have damaged the pump with it ran low. Try a Power Steering Lubricant first but if it is full and still making noise it is time to replace.
There are a few models that use the power steering pump at the booster for the brakes, but I doubt that yours is that. Look at the brake master cylinder. If it has this big round black drum, you have a vacuum assist and there is no correlation. If it has a couple of hoses going to an item behind the master that look like the hoses on your power steering there may be a correlation. Most of the diesels had the power steering booster.
Hope this helps

It could be done at home if you bought the proper tool to remove and replace the pully on the pump.They do give you some sort of a tool with the new pump but I find it really weak and they brake leaving you stuck.This is why I say"If you bought the proper tool".

Let me understand your question a little better. . . .are you replacing the tensioner and are asking how to remove the power steering pulley so you can access the tensioner? If thats the case, I must say that power steering units dont usually come with removable pulleys. Unless your a mechanic and have the knowledge and what tools are required to remove the power steering pulley from its unit for a much more serious reason besides to move it out of your way, I dont suggest doing so. If the power steering pump pulley is in the way your going to have to move the pump out of your way. Notice to see if the pump might have a pivot point. Refer to your owners manual for removal and installation of the tensioner. Its really not that hard>

Have you checked your tie rods? Possibility one is either bent or broken, I've seen it before on TB's. That pulley shaft is a common problem to break, especially when cold out. PS pumps/pulley shafts and tie rods will snap if doing donuts in the snow with the steering wheel cranked, or off-roading. The PS is completely mechanical, no fuses or relays.
