Great video. Incredibly informative. I probably could do this myself but my local mechanic is so reasonable I will let him tackle it. But now I know what it takes!

Thank you!! It is definitely not as easy as it looks but a little patience and the correct tools go a long way. Once you’ve done this repair a few dozen times or more it becomes more routine work. Thanks for reaching out.

Thanks for the video. Any idea if the process would be the same for an E 150 van with 5.4? (2003) suddenly lost power steering with no warning. Belt is good and reservoir is full so assuming it’s the pump

Yes it is!

I have a 2005 4.2l f150, would you recommend replacing both lines while I'm down there? Thank you for the video, I'm gonna check more of you're stuff out. Oh, should I replace the reservoir as well?

No problem thanks for reaching out, the pressure lines should be replaced if you see any sign of a leak. If it looks wet at all or a ton of rust built up on any part of the line set it definitely wouldn’t hurt to go ahead and change them out while your in there. A small leak on a pressure line can turn into a massive leak pretty quickly! For the reservoir if it’s in still looking good no heat cracks you’ll be ok to keep it, there’s no pressure on that part of the system.

How did you drain the system before removing the return line?

@SMAutoRepairLLC

6 ай бұрын

You can take the return hose off of the reservoir and drain it out. Or when you remove the line from the pump have a drain pan ready to drain in to.

For a less experienced DIYER, I’d say plan on a solid 2 hours plus. If you’re more advanced and regular automotive repairs are within your skill set it could be done in an hour or less. A ratcheting 10mm wrench will be very helpful while doing this repair if you don’t have one I’d purchase one before starting the repair. The rest can be done with basic set of mechanics tools. I hope this helps!

What year model is this? Would the procedure be the same as this for a 2010 4.6?
