OK! Having just replaced my power steering pump, I'll provide some insight to this procedure… First off, the overall information provided here give a person a good idea of what to expect. Second, there is more than one method to achieve the same result, no matter what you are doing. Finally, if you have an older vehicle with stubborn, rusty parts, what I learned during this procedure will be most valuable. It is true that removal of the air intake and fan shroud are necessary. Not only are they quick and easy, but they facilitate better access for the work about to be performed. The only hiccup I had during this part was that I broke the clamp that holds down the radiator hose on top of the shroud. I was quite prepared to follow the instructions I found in this video, but when I picked up my replacement pump from the wrecker, I was surprised to find that the pump, pulley and mounting bracket were all still intact as one unit. The wreckers don't have time to screw around with pulley pullers and the like, so they chose the easiest and quickest way to get me my part, and didn't charge any extra. So I was quite happy to look forward to simply removing my alternator and replacing the entire bracket and pump assembly without having to buy, beg, or borrow a pulley removal tool. It still wasn't as easy as I had hoped. Even though I was sure I wouldn't have trouble installing the unit with the least amount of effort, the video here made it look like removing the fan would be an easy thing to do, so I figured what the hell. But after 5 minutes of beating the hell out of my wrench and anything else my hammer came into contact with when I missed, I took a close look and realized I could get the power steering pump mounting bracket off without removing the rusted, seized on fan. So in a matter of about 5 minutes, I had the hoses unhooked, the alternator removed, the bolts out, and the entire assembly on the ground beside my truck. Unfortunately, I realized the mounting bracket was different for the alternator, so I had to take both of them down to my local mechanic who charged me $30 to pull the pulleys, swap the pumps, and reinstall the pulley on the one intended to use. Once I got home, I merely repositioned the pump-bearing bracket, installed the bolts, hooked up the hoses and in half an hour I had all the part replaced the engine running testing my assembly. Even if the wrecker didn't give me the whole unit, and I had just bought the pump, I think it is well worth it to avoid the frustration of removing the fan, and just remove the whole mounting bracket, THEN remove your pulley. Unfortunately for me, half an hour later, I found another puddle of oil under my truck and realized a power steering hose had a hole in it! I just replaced my pump for nothing and it was the leaking hose that was causing me pump to go dry every other day!! Stupid.

Use a clamp that you would use for brakes and tighten down on the belt and the fan shroud. Then hit your wrench with the hammer. You can use cardboard to protect the belt but I replace the belt either way.

Cool vid, well done and good info. My only issue is the tool he used to to remove the fan clutch (instead of a fan clutch removal tool which most people don't have but any shop should) is not called a "monkey wrench". It's called an "adjustable wrench" or "adjustable spanner". Some call it a crescent wrench, but that's a brand name, not a tool name. I've worked in shops for more then 30 years and never heard it called a monkey wrench, that's the name for a pipe wrench. Also, you only need to use a flair nut wrench to remove the high pressure line. During install of the new line or pump, a regular open end wrench will be fine and not limit your movement as much.

Better not tighten the c-clamp to tight or you will damage the belt and require a new one, Better to use a properly fitting wrench & hit it sharply with a 16 oz hammer. I did not say beat it ! Think of impact gun ! A bar clamp with pads on the clamping surfaces, would be better than c-clamp.

@chopperjohn2039 жыл бұрын
easier way when reinstalling the pulley is to use a box wrench on the large nut which I think was a 13/16 and use a rachet on the bolt like he did when removing the pulley You can also do the job without removing the fan, which can be a bitch to get off . It's just a slight bit in the way . Also be aware that earlier models often used a long stud with a nut as one of thge mounting bolts for the big aluminum bracket. If you have that stud you're not gonna get thge bracket off unless you do remove the water pump fan and pulley. When I do a job like this on my vehicles, I buy a can of black spray paint and clean and paint the black parts (pulkley's brackets etc) I took off and also clean and scrub the aluminum so it looks good when I open the Hood . if it's a classic or special vehicle, I sand and polish the aluminum also. I figure if I have it all apart anyway why not spiff it up a bit ? Plus ya never know , something may come up soon and you need to sell it. Telling people you put new parts on and them seeing all nicely painted and shiny impresses most buyers and helps keep your hands clean when reassembling it or if something near it needs to be fixed sometime after you did this job

Howdy! I have a 2005 Yukon SLT 5.3L automatic with 218,000 miles. All stock equipped. Doesn't make any noise of any kind, that's abnormal. Well kept and daily driver. I drove it out on the highway for 300 miles and when I exited Interstate it was in manual steering mode...stiff to turn like it had no pump at all. And the brakes were not boosted either. It's not the belt or fluids of steering or brakes...all good. No leaks. No codes. No smells. No noises of pump failure. It only does it at low rpms when coming to stop, under 700 rpm. It works fine when above that. And the brakes are unboosted when it does it also, but work. This is the pump I assume? Remove and replace eh? Suggestions of what pump brands you had success with?

I used a 1-7/8 wrench (or a big crescent wrench), a 3lb hammer, and a small tire iron (or may a big forking screw driver) to stick into one of the holes on the fan clutch. While holding the clutch blade with the tire iron and the wrench on the fan nut. Bash the wrench until it breaks free....usually takes only about 2-3 hits and then it spins off just as shown in this video. I'm not sure if the wrench sizes will be the same as I used this technique on a 2008 chev. silvy, diesel

i improvised with out a strap wrench and with a minor ding on the pulley, i used a large crescent/adjustable wrench, slimmed it down to fit on the back of the pulley wedged it up 45 degrees and using an extra large adjustable with serious leverage, the fan finally unscrewed... the adjustable on the back side of the pull kinda pull up the metal a little bit. I then supported the bottom of the pulley after and tapped the ding down -not perfect but close enough- strap wrench would definitely be the way to go if ya needed to do this and had one handy..

And yes... my water pump shaft has way too much play so I'll swap it while I'm at this point.

You can rent or borrow the correct spanner wrench to hold the clutch in place while you loosen the nut. I purchased the wrench but I seem to recall it was around $30.

Yup, easy repair. Took about 3 hours. As others have said, don’t remove the fan. Completely unnecessary. Hardest part was getting a wrench with enough leverage on the supply line bolt. That sucker was tight.

I got the new pump in, but now the engine only runs for 10 seconds before dying. Any suggestions?

Dang GM! Looks like you have to take half the engine bay apart to get to the power steering pump! I'm about to change one out on my Dodge Durango, and it looks like there are maybe three bolts to pop out and disconnect the hoses and then reverse the process, and I will be done.

Doesn't the pump have to be bled????????

If i remove the pump with the entire bracket from a junkyard car, i assume I can get away without removing the pulley. Can I just replace the pump, bracket, and pulley as one assembled unit?

good day sir. i have a 2010 suburban, and its making noise when i am revving above 700rpm and i can hear the noise coming from inside cabin, is this the cause of power steering pump failure? and it makes very, very faint squeak sound when turning.
@2carpros6 жыл бұрын
Sounds like it to me from what you have said. But if it is really quiet then it can wait till it gets a bit louder. I would also check your power steering fluid level it might be low. Thanks for watching!

The squeak sound could be the belt , to check hold bar soap up against it for a couple revolutions, inside & outside, also remove the belt & turn the water pump slowly with a little side pressure and feel for little bumps , that would be a bad bearing, it should be smooth!

I'd probably say the same if I were casually watching this video. However, it has a calm, soothing vibe to it that has prevented me from outright blowing up my 2007 GMC Yukon Denali XL with tannerite out of pure frustration and hatred.
