Power Steering Pump Replacement Mercedes Benz ML500 1998-2005

[@learn119]

Thank You! I saved a lot of money doing this repair myself with the help of your video.

[@JaronLindow]

My observations after taking a whack at this on a 2001 ML320: The overflow nipple on the upper driver's side of the radiator is easy to break off by accident when working in this corner of the vehicle. You want to let the vehicle cool off overnight before doing the power steering pump, or at least wear gloves, since you'll be very close to the upper radiator hose and exhaust manifold. Make sure you have a new o-ring for the pressure hose. The pump I received didn't come with one, and the old o-ring was squashed and split. You can hold the belt tensioner with a wrench and a tie-down strap wrapped around the frame. I used a torx socket rather than attaching to the outer nut since I didn't want to accidentally loosen the nut. The pressure hose can come in contact with the power steering pump's pulley and get cut open if the hose is at the wrong angle. Replacing the pressure hose is more difficult than it looks due to not having much room to get two hands in to maneuver the rack end of the pressure hose to the correct angle. You'll want to have a set of extra o-rings and a dental pick as well, since every time you fail and pull the hose out of the rack, the threads pull the o-ring off the end of the hose. The two bolts at the rear of the pump are twice as hard to get back on as they are to get off. Removing the wheel, fender plastic, and exhaust manifold heat shield provide better access. If you jack the front wheels off the ground, you can bleed the power steering with the motor off by slowly turning the wheels stop to stop until no more bubbles come up. If you turn the wheel too fast, the reservoir can overflow and make a mess or you can suck bubbles back down into the system. If you clamp a mirror and light in place, you don't need an assistant.

Hyyy

[@trevorwagner3396]

yeah without a doubt taking the heatshield off is your path of least resistance

[@MODNTUNE]

Thank you, straight to the point. All the other videos are 20 min plus! Also I recommend to people to go with BOSCH I have had bad luck with the quality of Amazon parts. Not much room for profit on a $60 pump so they are going to cut corners on quality.

[@TomasHinds]

Definitely one of the best videos Does everyone already know the size of the tools required? That would be a helpful addition to the videos, either in the voiceover or at least in the description

[@car-toonnetwork7723]

3:10 when you removed the resovior from the pump here that metal clip you took off do you by any chance know how i can get that i lost mine in the engine bay

[@car-toonnetwork7723]

plz help

[@vid8306]

Hi, can you please tell me the size of the socket you used to remove the bolt on the back of the power steering pump and which one did you remove to get the power steering pump of the engine.

[@vid8306]

what the size wrench to remove high pressure expansion house,

[@Phanotak]

Is this procedure applicable to the ML430 Year 2000 as well? Some screws (and maybe locations) that need to be taken out are definitely different compared to the ML500 from what I can tell.

[@desertcamel3573]

can you list your tools? Torq socket size? Steps

[@wavetrader196]

People complaining..... Sorry they didn't turn the bolts for you. These videos are made w the assumption, you have some mechanical knowledge. I use ur vids as a quick, "okay that's how many bolts and where the hidden ones are," before I attack. Good vid. 👍

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@craigkeller]

Excellent video, big help for an upcoming project. Thank you!

[@2carpros]

Thank you for watching!

[@G_KODE_1911]

When I changed the reservoir, I noticed the inlet connector for the reservoir on the pump was able to be spin around and was able to be manipulated in all directions. I was assuming this piece should be tightly sealed and affixed. Is this correct? I think that potentially broken inlet connector is the cause of my continued leak.

[@chrishunter1460]

could you please tell me what size torx bit and the size wrench for the belt tensioner

[@jerry5736]

What size Line Wrench was used?

[@Edsavage404]

Can i just get the reservoir out with out removing the pump also how do i bleed the fluid

[@javierm9010]

question my wheel is very hard you think if I change the pump will be ok?

[@2carpros]

Yes it should be back to normal. If not I'd look at the actual power steering box to make sure that is working correctly. Thank you for watching!

[@javierm9010]

thank you

[@izabelagabor8779]

For a ML320 if the high presure pomp is change do we need to clean the pipes and fuel tank?

[@troymclaughlin3393]

I removed my reservoir first to give a bit more room to get at the 2 rear mount bolts. Theres a heat shield on the exhaust header that really cramped my style. Cheers

[@2carpros]

Nice work! Thanks for watching Troy!

[@Michaelcarlgadwah]

I love your content man

[@nasserzahrahhookah4998]

Can you tell me the what is the part number to look for I want to buy 2002 Mercedes Benz S430 - Power Steering Pump

[@dukeman7595]

What is nice about your background music is, it is barely audible and pleasant.

[@Foxtechconsultants]

To everyone complaining about this video, I think it’s made with the assumption that you have at least a basic knowledge of mechanical work. So they don’t need to go into specifics because all you do is look at your new pump that you undoubtedly already have since you’re replacing your pump?? Look at the holes, this is kindergarten stuff. Or search the MB forums. Geez...

[@priscibee4905]

Crank Turner it appears you are very knowledgeable in this. I was advised on yesterday that my 2008 Mercedes needs a pump and a line. I was very shocked at the price. I think he is charging that amount because I’m a women. I decided to come her to see what it is.

[@klowenstein483]

Got it! Love the video!

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

The music - I like it - then I don’t like it - then I like it - top video

hello .ı have one question , ı have mercedes 1996 e320 and ı have to change steering pump and I find 1998 e430 stering pump for replace my car . 1998 e430 steerıng pump can fit my car ? serial numbers is different but some people say compatible some said not . what do you think about that ? thanks

[@conradsenior5843]

Why didn't you replace those seals? It is a common problem for the seals to leak. The pump might be fine.

[@juangonzalez2533]

I have a 2000 ml320 I removed the abs motor and and the roller bearing inside the abs pump came out how you put back.

[@BloodlineMedia]

Thanks! That music rules!

I have broblm with my power steering pump please wa can I find u to help me

Hi, i have mercedes e500 2004 i change the ps pump and its still making a bad sound and bubble, what should i do?

[@MarkSeibold]

Nicely done video, but I have a 2001 E320 Wagon, and would like to see instructions for the flushing procedure of the reservoir.Thank you.

[@jeevan270578]

Just nice. Good job. Thanks

[@2carpros]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Frenchbiff]

I cant find a clutch that's the same size as the one I have on my ml350 2004 I was told as long as the belt fits it should be fine

[@shafi10a]

Why disconnect battery?

[@eddiezeng5219]

Hi I have Mercedes Benz GL450 Power Steering, when i do parallel parking very hard to turn. but i drive straight is ok. Why? Thanks.

[@2carpros]

Sounds like it could be the power steering pump is going out. Is it making a whining grinding sound?

[@priscibee4905]

2CarPros that’s my issue. I need a pump. I’m really stressing. Ugh

[@sconsalter]

Where can I buy this Power Steering Pump for Mercedes R500 V8 5.5 2011?

[@ryandunbar1314]

Ordered my new PS pump WITH new reservoir as one defect could have effected the other. Few questions 1. Same methods apply for 2000 ML320? 2. Knowing the new unit comes with pulley do I need to remove old one to access hardware to remove unit? 3. Is it a MUST to use MB fluid or is there a common available product that would be acceptable? Thanks a lot Looking forward to this NOT so fun job 😳😂

[@cycling9945]

No I use this video to change my 2002 ml320 pump and it is exactly the same way

[@chrisrulez15able]

Location of rear bolt??

[@patpatt4085]

Thank you - now I know why my mechanic is charging me $900.00 to replace my power steering pump! Looks worth it to me...single, female and absolutely no knowledge of car mechanics. :)

[@2carpros]

That is not a bad price honestly. It is a decent amount of work and the part isn't cheap either. Thank you so much for watching!

[@Foxtechconsultants]

Pat Patt that’s insane. The pump is $60 on Amazon for w163 w/ warranty and shipped (Prime). As you can see it’s about a 1 labor hour job, 2 max if you’re taking your time. +new fluid $20-30? $900 is absurd.

[@priscibee4905]

Pat Patt same her but I still think that’s too much.

[@priscibee4905]

2CarPros can you tell me where I can buy the parts? I’m a single women and want to ensure the cost is fair. Thanks in advance. Xx

[@priscibee4905]

Crank Turner that’s what I was wondering. I’m being charged $1054 for the pump and line. I’m clueless.

[@barrydingle481]

Im stuck on the bolt in the back

[@TechTrailblazer4]

Wow.Have a 2000 55. My steering is very stiff been that way for a while. Its steerable once moving. Its not smooth at all. Anybody has an idea what it can be?

[@2carpros]

It's either the power steering pump or box. Thanks for watching!

Please make a tool list

[@Julianconanhernandez]

I'm guessing the radiator was removed to do this video?

[@sat_sonic]

+Julian Hernandez You don't have to remove the radiator. At most would be the fan shroud if you really wanted to get more room. But it can be done w/o removing any of that (as long as you're okay working in a little tight space)

[@caseykisiah1568]

Why has no one shown a S600 removal and replace ?

[@2carpros]

Hmm idk, we have not had one in the shop so have not done one.

[@ekosone1890]

how much would a job like this be worth?

[@2carpros]

Depending on if you take it to a normal garage or the dealer probably anywhere from 1200 to 2300. I'm just guessing different factors can bring the price up or down such as availability of the unit.

[@larryjackson4632]

not even close lmao. this is a $350 job MAXIMUM and that's WITH the cost of the new pump.

[@larryjackson4632]

Also, why don't you say the size and names of the tools you are using? Some people don't have tool sets and have to go out and buy the exact tools needed.

[@chrisgandhi6463]

[@jamesbutler3041]

1) twice you put a wrench behind the PS unit and you never explained what you are doing. We need an explanation or a diagram since we can not see behind the engine. 2) All of the sudden the Pulley disappeared. That is the most difficult item to take off. How did you remove the pulley?

[@2carpros]

+James Butler I am undoing the rear mounting bolt, just unbolt the pulley by removing the three bolts,

specify in the description the name of the motor in the video without that you're gonna have a ton of people telling you you got the wrong motor for what they're looking for like your power steering pump video for the 2007 c230 you're not working on a m272 in that video and every comment is someone telling you it s not set up like their year c230

good work

[@jagvette1]

sorry this video is only a little bit helpful it would have been nice to know how many bolts hold the pump particularly the location of the one on the rear, also you do not need a line wrench, but obviously is preferable.also that bloody music is annoying

[@tobydyes]

Crow feet work just as well do not need a line wrench

[@haroonzahoor2250]

I have SL 350 with 112 engine vehicle steering is too much hard should i replace power steering pump there is no sound and this thing happed suddenly i was making donuts 😂

[@larryjackson4632]

you have the fan and shroud off in this video i see.

[@eyalbarmitzvah]

Your skipped the two most important steps. First always do a flush before removing the old pump so you dont run the new pump with old fluid. Second, After filling the new pump reservoir with new fluid you need to hand turn the pully to prime the pump so its not dry. Otherwise you damage der new pump right away after starting the engine..

[@carlmartinz8662]

Great pull the battery so that the key looses its program lol. These ML trucks loose key sync when you pull the battery

[@KenLavacot]

It was done right in front of you and it didn't loose the programming, on newer vehicles yes maybe but not this year.

[@salvadoralvarez2093]

Gracis

[@mikeedeep3518]

you should tell the people to flush the fluid first 😅

[@Slays_Media]

This process takes sooooo long IRL.

[@2carpros]

Yes, this is not a quick process. It will take a few hours and quite a few swear words. Thank you so much for watching!
