Re: How do i remove the power steering pump 98 intrigue
I am assuming you have the 3.8L engine:
-
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
-
Remove the coolant recovery reservoir and bracket.
-
Unfasten the ECM retaining nuts, then remove the cover.
-
Remove the serpentine belt from the pulleys by loosening the automatic belt tensioner as outlined in
of this guide.
-
Disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the pump.
-
Unfasten the pump mounting bolts, then remove the pump and reservoir.
-
Using a suitable prybar, remove the retaining clips from the reservoir, then separate the reservoir from the pump.
-
Remove the pump pulley using a power steering pump pulley removing tool J-25034-B or equivalent pulley pullers.
To install:
-
Install the reservoir to the pump with a new O-ring seal and
install the retaining clip. Make sure the tabs are fully engaged on the
pump.
-
Install the pulley to the power steering pump.
-
Install the pump and retaining bolts. Tighten the retaining bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (34 Nm).
-
Connect the inlet and outlet hoses to the pump.
-
Install the serpentine drive belt.
-
Install the ECM cover and secure with the retaining nuts.
-
Connect the negative battery cable.
-
Fill and bleed the power steering system as outlined later in this information.
-
Allow the engine to warm up, road test the vehicle and recheck the fluid level.
-
