Fig. 6: Exploded view of the power steering pump mounting-late-model 4.3L engines (1993-96 shown)



Fig. 7: Typical power steering pump hose routing-1996 shown


The following procedure requires the use of the GM Puller tool No. J-29785-A (1985-92), Puller J-25034-B (1993-96) or equivalent, and the GM Pulley Installer tool No. J-25033-B or equivalent.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable for safety.
2. For 1996 vehicles, remove the air cleaner assembly for access.
3. For 1993-96 vehicles, remove the hood latch and the upper fan shroud.
4. Release tension and remove the drive belt.
5. Remove the power steering pump pulley using a suitable puller tool.
6. Remove the power steering pump retaining bolts, then reposition the pump as necessary for access to the hoses.
7. Position a fluid catch pan under the power steering pump.
8. Remove the hoses from the power steering pump and drain the excess fluid into the catch pan.

WARNING Be sure to cap all openings in the pump hydraulic system to prevent excessive fluid spillage and the possibility of system contamination.

1. Remove the power steering pump from the vehicle.
   

To install:

1. Position the pump to the vehicle, then uncap and connect the pump hoses.
2. Install the steering pump to the retaining bracket, then secure using the retaining bolts. Tighten the power steering pump-to-bracket bolts to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm). For 1996 vehicles, tighten the nut to 30 ft. lbs. (41 Nm).
   

On early-model vehicles where the drive belt is tensioned by pivoting the power steering pump assembly, do NOT fully tighten the mounting bolts at this time, since you will just have to loosen them again for belt installation and adjustment.

1. Install the pump pulley using the GM Pulley Installer tool No. J-25033-B or equivalent. Press the drive pulley onto the power steering pump.
2. Hand-tighten the pivot bolt, the adjusting bolt and the washer.
3. Install the drive belt. On early-model vehicles so equipped, properly adjust the belt tension. For details on belt installation and tension adjustment.
4. For 1993-96 vehicles install the upper fan shroud and the hood latch assembly.
5. For 1996 vehicles, install the air cleaner assembly.
6. Connect the negative battery cable.
7. Refill the power steering reservoir and bleed the power steering system.
8. Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.
9. Road test the vehicle, then check and top-off the power steering fluid.

hope this help (remember rated this post) Good luck.

Belt goes over power steering pump,under idler on left,over AC compressor,over alternator,over fan (with back of belt ) over crank pulley then over water pump (back of belt) then back to p/s pump. Routing is counterclockwise.
