ASE Certified Tech here, done MANY of these. Some tips for you all, I use a 15/16, or 24mm LONG socket with a long extension from the top and use an impact gun on it, it busts it off very easily and no stripped knuckles from using wrenches on it! Secondly the big feed hose which this guy here put a towel in it is sold by the foot at parts stores, do yourselves a BIG favor and replace that, won't cost you much at all, lastly, before "I" do one of these I remove splash cover and take the vehicle to the car wash, turn the wheel all the way to the left, and put a jack to slightly lift car and expose all that area, hit it with high pressure soap, makes the job MUCH cleaner to work on, hope that helps someone out there, happy wrenching 😉

I'm so glad you were able to fix it yourself. Thank you for commenting.

I want to thank you for uploading this. I replaced the PS pump in a '98 Camry V6 using your video as a guide. For those replacing theirs, you only need to remove the hoses (an electrical connection must be removed from the top one), the top pivot bolt, and the bolt that allows the pump to slide (Toyota calls this the adjuster bolt). Nothing else needs to be removed to get the pump out. Once you remove the slide bolt, you can pivot the pump, remove the belt, and use a socket to reach the top pivot bolt and make it very loose to release the pump. The other bolts and brackets come off once the pump is out. It is much easier if you only remove the slide bolt and loosen the top pivot bolt. I spent a lot of time undoing the other bolts and it was unnecessary. The hardest part for me was getting the top bolt off the banjo bolt because the nut (which is attached to the pump) between the banjo bolt and the pump came loose. I had to use two 24mm open end wrenches pushing/pulling in opposite directions to break the top bolt loose. Hope this helps some save time. Correction: I wasn't able to break the banjo bolt (union bolt per Toyota) free with the two 24mm wrenches. I had to use a large adjustable wrench on the nut under the pressure feed tube and jam it against something to prevent the nut from turning, then I used a long 24mm socket on the top (union bolt). I was able to reach down to the top of the socket with a flex head socket wrench.

Well an up-date on the power steering pump. This was my brother-in-laws daughters car. I had him bring it over to my house for a look and see ! The power steering pump wasn't even leaking! The rack & pinion was leaking out of the steering column shaft seal. We both changed that out in about four hours & a new $120 rack & pinion. Not a fun thing to change but we did it. I told him to pressure wash it real good before we worked on it. Still a dirty job but not near as bad as it would have been! Can you imagine a dealer doing this and change the pump and then tell you your rack & pinion was leaking also. That will be another seven or so hundred dollars! I don't know if they even looked at the car or just quoted them a price on the replacement. Well we got a little dirty and saved a lot of $$$$. Doing it are selves. I purchased the rack on line and had it sent to the house. We had it in a week! Sgrunt

Joe, great video and very informative, better than most I have seen. I am going to follow your advice and have a shop do the work . Just some notes for those who do the work themselves. You advise checking where the leak is coming from, yours was from a hose I believe and not the pump. You've posted below how to determine that. Someone has also posted torque specs below. It is not recommended to re-use a copper crush washer. It is probably better to use new ones, but the old ones can be annealed. Probably not crucially important, but after going to the trouble of doing all of that work, just a couple small things to ensure the DIYer of success. Best of luck to you and all those here, especially those who undertake the repair.

Joe, use dexron 3 ATF for power steering fluid. That's what Toyota calls for, regular power steering fluid will cause early failures in the system. I bought a 97 Camry that had fluid in the tie rod boots, after flushing and replacing with ATF the system is leak free and performing as it should. Before when the regular power steering fluid was in it I thought I had to replace the pump and the rack but the problem was the fluid.

Good tutorial over all but here are a couple of things I have learned on my 1996 Toyota Avalon as well as other cars I have owned. If possible de-grease everything as much as you can before starting the removal process, it will give you a much cleaner work area and also allow you to and access the entire area and make sure you aren't also getting fluid leaking from other places. I also find it easier to reassemble clean parts, nuts and bolts. I try to wear gloves but sometimes you need to feel nuts or bolts to get them undone. They also make rubber gloves that won't deteriorate with oils and slovents. And if you are working on a car with some advanced years and miles on it you should really consider replacing the rubber hoses that connect to the pump and also the steering fluid reservoir. Hoses often are very deteriorated on the inside and there can be a lot of crud in the old hoses and the bottom of the reservoir that will just end up getting into the new pump and causing it to fail. Be sure to flush the entire system. Flushing isn't fun as you usually need to fill the system with fresh fluid, purge the air and run it a bit and then drain it all again and refill, sometimes 2-3 times to ensure you have flushed old fluid and sludge from the steering gear box and rack. After you are all done degrease the area again, the fluid is not good for rubber parts or pain on the frame.

+MADEIN CHINALOL Thank you for the nice comment and thanks for watching. Happy Motoring!

Awesome video!!! Took me about an hour to remove, and hour to rebuild and an hour to put back on. This job was a pain to say the least. Maybe not the worst job I've ever done, but pretty close. If you could get this done at a shop for under $500 with parts, I'd say let em have it.

Thank you for the positive feedback. Glad to hear you got it done (and had the satisfaction of doing it yourself).

Did you 'simulate' the pulley removal part at 8:06? In the video, it looks like the shallow side of the pulley is facing away before you removed it, and you installed the pulley shallow-side out on the new pump, but when you are removing the old pump with the gear-puller, it looks like its deep side-out...

OK, you caught me. 8:06 was a re-enactment. I put the pulley back on to show you how I got it off with the puller. To get the real scoop, we go back to 1:26 and see how the thing was shallow out to begin with and that's how it should be at the end. Thanks for watching (so closely)!

Great video do more please would rather fix my car myself

It is a great feeling to do it yourself and cost savings isn't bad either. Happy Motoring!

So after Really paying attention to your video watching all 24 min of it again... Looks like all I had to do is unbolt that Top bolt that stays in the car loosen up those 2 lines that connects to the Pump and pull the Belt off and the Whole Pump would have came right out !? Those other 3 bolts behind the Pulley only come out if you need to replace the Pulley like you did in your Video right?

Well done video! Very informative.

If u have tools to take it apart, it would be a good project.

Great video! Just like you, I purchased the PS pump from Autozone. Question, did you ever figure out where the "o" rings go? I received 3 "o" rings and 2 crush washers. I could see where the medium size "o" ring needs to go, as well as the crush washers (for the banjo bolt). Where do the other 2 "o" rings go? Thanks!

+Teufel Hunden (MMXIV) It's been awhile since I did this replacement. I can only say inspect all of the hoses and where they attach and look for where those other 2 "o" rings go. They may be extra or something. Good luck with it!

Very nice clip

Hello Peter, thanks for the kind comment. I'm not sure what you're asking about the pulley but I don't think it matters what order you reassemble it.

Hi there, thanks for a wonderful video. The after market part you installed, any leakage afterward? I’m concerned about installing aftermarket parts since it’s hard to do. Thank you!

I had no problem with the pump. However, I had other leaks around that area and finally gave up and sold the car. I hope you have much better luck.

Thank for the, and great job.

great video, just about to do this job myself. you might wanna put atf in your power steering system instead of power steering fluid. I know my car calls for atf and putting regular power steering fluid in it can mess it up. thanks for posting the vid!

+Tico Angervil Way to stick with it Tico. I'm sure you can do it. Thank you for the comment and the blessing. Happy motoring!

Good Job, been working on these klunkers for years. Only thing I might add is if you have aluminum wheels you might want to use a torque wrench for the wheel lugs or just a racheting wrench. Impact guns can distort alum rims, also keep in mind if you have a flat the impact gun may cause you to rupture some part of your reproductive system trying to loosen the lug nuts

@FloridaJoe3

Thank you for that comment. I had never considered what the impact wrench is doing to my wheels. I don't really tighten it gorilla tight. I just tap the trigger on each lug at the end. A torque wrench is always the better solution. I just love using an impact wrench (I suspect most guys do).

+FloridaJoe3 without air tools we couldn't afford to have our cars worked on. If you want to use them on your alum rims they make these color coded torque sockets for your impact gun. BTW, you can buy a kit to reseal your power steering pump for 15 bucks or so

@FloridaJoe3

8 жыл бұрын

Wow! I've never heard of torque sockets. That is so cool. Definitely adding it to my wish list. I didn't really consider a rebuild/reseal kit for my power steering pump. Now that you mention it, though, I still think I'm too lazy to forego the ready-made pump. Thanks for the comment.

nice job i am going to fix the mine thanks

thanks for this great video and I appreciate your efforts to deliver the information to us. I have questions : 1. my car suddenly start to splash much water with disturbing sound and get empty water reservoir immediately . ther is visible opening from the front side of the power steering with visible excess leak.so can I drive the car like for 15 minutes to a place where it could be changed? I afraid if there is any danger ?

@FloridaJoe3

+watata anana Yes, I would say that you can drive it. You just won't have power steering. You'll have to use your muscles. Sounds like you couldn't damage your power steering any more than it already is. Good luck with it.

Great video. Very informative. A couple questions; 1) It looked like you didn't need to remove the 2 long bolts on disassembly from the engine, because it looks like they only held the back bracket to the pump & could be removed once the pulley is off, and 2) is the belt easy enough to change that now would be a good time to replace it?

@FloridaJoe3

A Lanesey 1) Correct. I removed some bolts that were not necessary to remove. I assembled it all before putting it back in the car. 2) If your belt looks worn, definitely replace it. I didn't have one on hand and also that belt is under another belt if I recall correctly. Thanks for watching.
