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".

SOURCE: remove power steering pump pulley as to replace

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>

SOURCE: Power steering went out on

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.

if this has an automatic belt tensioner on it this sounds like the tensioner is weak and needs replacing. a weak or bad tensioner does and can cause belt squealing and can throw the belt alignment off causing your problem.

Hi, I have pasted the procedure for belt replacement below. To replace the tensioner as well, first take the belt off. Then remove the pulley from the tensioner. This will expose the single bolt that holds the tensioner on. Replace the tensioner and then the pulley (if replacing all). Then reinstall the belt.

Alternator/Power Steering Pump Belt
The alternator/power steering pump belt is provided with a dynamic tensioner to maintain proper belt tension.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Raise the front of the vehicle and safely support it with jackstands.
  3. Remove the right front splash shield.
  4. Release tension by rotating the tensioner clockwise (use a box-end wrench on the tensioner bolt shown in the picture.
  5. Remove the belt and install a replacement.
  6. Proper belt tension is maintain by the dynamic tension.
  7. Install the right front splash shield. Lower the front of the vehicle.

The belt in my 01 Dodge Dakota squeals badly. Started when I had my power steering pump replaced. I tried changing the belt and the tensioner, but still squeals. Is it possible the pulley on the power...

excess mechanical drag from the pump can cause the belt to slip and squeal, but before focusing on the pump I'd check the condition, tension and alignment of the belt. I might even try cleaning all the pulleys with an aerosol brake cleaner and install a new belt, particularly if the current one has more than 50,000 miles on it. It might be that the squeal is coming from or caused by a different belt-driven accessory.
A more typical noise from a power-steering pump is a high-pitched whine, not a squeal. Usually, if the steering wheel is stationary, meaning that the steering rack is not "asking" for assistance from the high-pressure fluid from the pump, there's little or no noise
