Thanks for showing importsnt things we really need, like wrench sizes and it is VERY much helpful to show the item of interest off of the vehicle so that we can see clearly what it is we are fumbling around with in the greasy dark.

Super explanation.

So I guess my pulley will snap off eventually. I have been running my focuse for 7 years now with the pump dry haven’t replaced haven’t had to the hard stearin doesn’t bother me but now that I saw this I might play mechanic very soon. Thanks for the video will definitely be helpful ❤❤

No, it is a semi-hard Teflon o-ring basically. The new pump came with a new one.

Do you have to losen the belt in order to replace the steering fluid tank? Is that independent from the rest?

You don't have to remove the belt to remove the tank. The tank comes off by removing the top two bolts and disconnecting the hose from the front of the tank.

When you did the Teflon seal, did it go all the way down to the end of the screw? I noticed there is a gap between threads 3/4 of the way down the screw.

Yes, mine had a groove for the seal all the way down by the nut on the fitting.

What was the symptom of your car? hard to steer?

When the pump begins to fail, generally you will hear the pump wine when turning. Especially at low speeds. The pump may also start to leak around the shaft as the bearings wear out. Once the pump fails completely the car will be very hard to steer. This owner had let the pump run dry and it seized, snapping off the pulley.

Is there a way to take the reservoir out without taking the whole pump off?

I don't think so.

Nice, did u have to bleed the system?

@nates831

No, the fluid returns to the reservoir, so it bleeds itself. Just run the steering full left and right a few times and check the fluid level after.

KZread has a lot of noobs trying to fix their own ish. I reaaaaallllyyyyyyy wish you had pointed at all the stuff you kept talking about. Like WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING AT???

Did you have to burp or get the air out of the pump

No, power steering systems are vented, so you just need to fill it up, cycle the steering a few times, and top it off.

Hammers can work, but you risk damaging the new pump by hammering on the pulley.
