Loosen the pump adjusting bolt and retaining bolts, then push the pump in toward the engine and remove the drivebelt. Disconnect the power system fluid lines from the pump and drain the fluid into a suitable container, plugging or taping over the end of the lines to prevent dirt ingress. If necessary, remove the alternator drivebelt(s). Remove the bolts attaching the pump to the engine bracket and take out the pump; on some engine installations, it may be necessary to remove the pump complete with bracket. Replacing is a direct reversal of the removal procedure, ensuring that the fluid lines are tightened to the specified torque, topping up the system with an approved fluid, and adjusting the alternator drivebelt tension.

First there is the removal of the fluid from the reservoir using the following procedure; first, remove the fluid return hose from the reservoir and plug it where it was connected. Subsequently, release the pressure hose from the pump fitting but do not disconnect the fitting. Remove the pump mountings depending on their type and re-locate the pump to remove the drive belt from the pump pulley shaft. When the mountings have been disconnected, one can then take out the pump. When refitting, do the reverse, but be certain to recharge and bleed the system thoroughly. Add clean specified power steering fluid to the reservoir and then disconnect the primary (LT) wire from the negative terminal on the coil so that the engine does not start, now start the car using the starter motor. Watch the level of the fluid in the reservoir and pour in more until the level is constant. With the engine cranking, take the steering wheel and make a full clockwise then counter clockwise turn to ensure the front wheels are in contact with the ground. It is advisable to recheck the fluid level after some time and put some more in as required. Connect the coil wire again, switch on the engine and allow it to run for several minutes with the steering being turned from lock to lock, but not with the steering held in the full lock position. Last turn off the engine and check the indication on the dipstick and after that final check take some drops of fluid into your fingertip to feel the smoothness.

Before removing the power steering pump there is need to disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Put a drain pan under the power steering pump and, if you are using a rack-and-pinion steering system, take off the drivebelt. Employing the special power steering pump pulley remover, remove the pulley from the pump. Then, release the pressure and drain hoses at the rear of the pump, and cover the hoses to avoid spewing of contaminants inside. Remove the pump mounting bolts and lift the pump from the vehicle and make a point of not spitting any fluid on painted locations. To install, position the pump in the mounting bracket and fasten the bolts and thereafter tighten it. Fix the hoses to the pump, and tighten the joints. Place the pulley on the shaft of the pump and use the special pulley installer tool to press it where it in fit against the end of the shaft. Put the drivebelt and then the power steering reservoir should be filled with the recommended fluid and bleeding should be done in a prescribed manner.

Switch off the engine and check the fluid level on the dipstick. This should be between the COLO and HOT marks according to the temperature of the fluid which can be continuously tested with the hand.

Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature. Let the engine idle and turn the steering wheel from lock to lock.
