  Q: How do you remove the power steering pump?

  A: To remove the power steering pump, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Then, remove the serpentine drivebelt. Use a special power steering pump pulley remover to remove the pulley from the pump. Position a drain pan under the pump and disconnect the pressure and return hoses from the backside of the pump. Plug the hoses to prevent contaminants from entering. Remove the pump mounting fasteners and lift the pump from the vehicle, being careful not to spill fluid on painted surfaces. To install the pump, position it in the mounting bracket and secure it with bolts and a nut. Connect the hoses to the pump and tighten the fittings securely. Press the pulley onto the shaft using a special pulley installer tool or a fabricated alternative tool. Install the drivebelt and fill the power steering reservoir with the recommended fluid. Finally, bleed the system.
