Thank you very much. I've been looking for a video for almost 10 months that would show me how to remove and replace this part. Here in Brazil, no one does this service and shows how to do it. The workshops that perform the service charge a lot and the specialized ones are in the city of São Paulo and I live far away in the capital of Brazil in the Federal District. I didn't find anything on KZread. I also have a channel where I show you how to do things yourself in your car. When I go to change I will film it and give you credit for teaching me. I think your reservoir is missing a Teflon ring on the pressure hose fitting. I still haven't found this ring for sale and mine is crushed. My car is a 1995 Mustang 5.0 V8. Once again, thank you very much for filming all the steps of the work.

This is really helpful. I hate the ones where the guys tell you what they're going to do, and then go immediately to the completely disassembled problem without showing you how to get to it, which, for some of us, is the most difficult part. Thank you from the old ladies working on their old truck brigade.

Glad these videos are helping you!

Nice one. I made the mistake of adding regular power steering fluid in my '04. They call for mercon ATF.

great video! this shows me exactly what i need to do on my 89. came here to see if i could do it myself and looks pretty easy😁

Really was easy, just make sure you don’t pinch the big o-ring when you are maneuvering the new reservoir into place.

The fittings are 18mm and 24mm. I'm currently trying to find out where the power steering pump is leaking on my son's 04 taurus with the vulcan 3.0. Very good instructions, thank you

​​@@ijfimyes, I'm guessing it's the same part number for all the 3.0 vulcan motors. Just received the parts today and putting it back together tonight 🤞🤞🤞 Also, what is the third o-ring for in the kit? The thinnest of the two bigger ones?

That high pressure line has a Teflon O-ring that goes over the threads and into a grove near the nut head. Kind of like the O-rings do on the valve. I just did this job and the old pump had one and the new one came with a replacement ring. There's also videos on here showing the Teflon O-ring if you look for them.

This is the best feedback! Glad I helped your situation in some way.

11/16 fits perfect i say this because 90% of wrench sets don't have 18mm included

The Ranger uses ATF Mercon (updated to Mercon V) for the power steering fluid. Need to bleed the air out of the lines.

What engine are you working on? The Vulcan 3.0?

Great step by step. Sorted out my 85 bronco's leaking pump. What is the 3rd O ring for?

I was going to ask the same question. I got a 90 with a 2.9

This video was super helpful. I'm having a ton of trouble getting the reservoir to fit over the new o-ring (like at 9:00) though. Won't even go on with a hammer lol. It's fairly cold outside here, does that matter?

@ijfim

Just double and triple-check your o-ring location. SYMMETRICALLY install your reservoir over the o-ring. If you cock it sideways, it will bind up. I hope you are kidding about the hammer!

I wouldn't worry about the loose fitting. My 96 Cougar has the same pump and when I replaced the pressure hose the fitting was loose like that and same with the new one despite being tight. Neither one leaked.

Hi, I’m seeing your video and there is a third Oring that you’re didn’t say nothing about where to put her or is like a for replacement. I hope you answer my question help a lot your video I’m working i’m from Mexico, so I doing my best with my English but thanks so much for your video help a lot

I’m wondering the same thing. What fitting are you talking about? I’ve taken the whole thing off and put it back twice and I’m not sure where that 3rd skinny o ring goes. Also now it’s making that whining noise a lot and having trouble while turning. It’s “skipping” a lot as I turn and feels very rough. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Never mind I saw your reply on another comment. I was thinking it might go in that valve but not sure where to put it.

What is the name of the little valve you replaced those two black o-rings?

@ijfim

3 ай бұрын

Not sure, might be called an “orifice,” or “reducer,” or “adapter”

If I can push and pull the reservoir by not much but it moves and it leaks .. do I need to buy the whole pump or just the reservoir ? It doesn’t leak a lot but I was thinking it was the line and replaced that but still doing the same thing.

In my opinion, it’s cheap enough to give it a try. I think the reservoir is leaking.

My Isuzu Ascender is so hard to fix. I have a powersteering leaking also. And is way far to reach in to it😢

Are there supposed to be teflon seals that go btw the fitting and the reservoir and one btw the high pressure hose and the fitting?? Thank you!

@ijfim

Not that I know of. I haven’t leaked a drop since I recorded the video so o-rings are all you need. Typically 1500 psi is the threshold that teflon backup rings are required.

If you located in the U. S., you can got to Lowe's or Home Depot in the "Hardware Section "....Gonna need the old ones to get close to right size...Otherwise, Amazon sells this whole kit he showed...The part number is in the vid description...Otherwise, its "Hit and Miss " for the correct size...

There isnt an o-ring down inside the pressure fitting where the hose threads into? Im kind of stumped by mine because it is leaking from the fitting, but if you look close its not a regular pressure fitting. The hose side is beveled like a hydraulic fitting, while the female side is machined flat. There is no way for the hose and fittings to mesh like a hydraulic fitting.

@ijfim

Are you sure all the parts are correct? Sounds like it shouldn’t have worked from the start? Maybe your pressure hose is built as a 2-piece connector somehow and one of the pieces fell off when you disconnected it?

@@ijfim thanks for replying. I actually just posted a video on my page about it if you want to see what I'm talking about. I came up with a novel solution to fix it that seemed to work very well. Unless someone took the thing apart before I got the truck it appears to all be there. Also it seems like a pretty prolific problem bc there are tons of forum post about it, and all trucks I've seen at the junk yard leak right there.

You don't have to remove the compressor. I've changed these many times and NEVER removed the compressor.

How much did that kit cost
