FordTechMakuloco my 06 mustang gt just started slipping 3rd to 4th gear. No engine light and no problems with reverse. Took ot to aamco and they said i need a rebuild. Any suggestions??

[@MarkWilliams-vp7xw]

Do you have a video on replacing the rack and pinion?

[@robhoug3724]

FordTechMakuloco just in case ER um someone installed the pulley backwards how would one remove it? Yes I know probably going to have to install a new pulley after but how does my friend remove such an embarrassing mess up.

[@joshharrison1715]

Hey Ford tech I have a question for you

[@joshharrison1715]

I have a 5.4 Triton 2004 Ford F150 I replace the power steering pump and now I'm leaking motor oil somewhere around the power steering pump I did not have all the bolts to put the new power steering pump back on so I did not know if all could be coming out of one of the boat holes or where could it be coming from thank you

[@willturner4289]

Just broke my install tool and I’m broke so stressed right now, really appreciate you going out your way to inform us

[@Maxim.ID4HO]

I broke two of those loaner tools from the parts store. It busted inside the pump with the separately purchased pulley partially installed. All three items rendered useless. Yesterday, I bought my own cheap version of the tool, but after seeing this, I bought the OTC tool he recommended. I'll wait on the OTC tool to arrive and just eat the cost on the cheap tool, because I don't want to buy another pump and pulley. Those cheap tool sets seem to be almost a one-time use. If you can find one with the pulley installed, they are $243.00. This is such an easy job, but it's filled with needless hurdles.

[@jonathanjohnson647]

Piece of wood and a hammer

[@mike289homebuilt5]

Hey guys, I had to do this same job on a chevy blazer and It took like 5 attempts to take pully off or on. I ended using a propane torch to heat whole pully and I could get 4 or 4 wrench turns then reheat repeat. Make sure shaft and pully have no Burr or scrapes on it. Some cars we work on are too much bigger pain.

[@heavymetalapocalypse8354]

This couldn't have come at a better time. Ordered my new pump and hoses last night and picking them up today. This is my first time so here goes nothing! Thank you! Merry Christmas everyone!

[@ronaldcach2779]

Where did you order your new pump from? THANKS

[@heavymetalapocalypse8354]

Ronald Cach i got it from auto zone, it was only like $50, but with the core charge it was $63 and some change. I got it the next day as well.

[@heavymetalapocalypse8354]

Ronald Cach I also got the hoses and rebuild kit from them.

[@ronaldcach2779]

[@ronaldcach2779]

[@tacc8227]

I just replaced my steering pump recently (03/23) and the video information is still quite valid and good. However a few things not mentioned is the plastic/teflon o-ring. It is not pliable, meaning if you stretch it too far it will not regain its original shape. Also meaning when tightening the high pressure side of the hose into the pump with the plastic/teflon ring may not get sealed correctly. I , luckily, was able to get a good seal even though the ring was loosely fitted. No leaks after 3 days.. But will keep an eye on it. The other thing that should be mentioned is the tool for removing and pressing the pully should be high quality. While the "Harbor Freight" - made in china, did the job. I had improvise to get the job done. I ended up having to use a hose clamp rather than the provided sleeve due to the fact there was so much slop and play that it didnt allow the collars to stay in place when trying to take it off, which in turn made the tool fail in the end. And as he suggested @8:45 the installer bolt breaks quite easily, especially when taking the pully off. I broke the part 2 times, first time when taking the pully off and second time when I pressed the pully too far and had to pull the pully away form the pump body without the pully rubbing against the pump. In essence, because of the low quality tool I used it took a 3 hour job and made into a 2 day job just because I wanted to save money on a tool I knew I probably wouldnt use again.

[@garrettschuchholz4203]

I think your explanation of the endplay just saved from pulling a decent pump. Thank you.

[@wylareedy9635]

He explained the entire procedure very well.

[@LeeFred78]

Thanks for this video. I had to replace the PS pump on my 2008 F150. I ordered one with a pulley but of course I got one without. Got the tools to do this job and it all worked out.

[@57Fastjeff]

Great info! Thanks. Bought a similar kit and was stunned not to see the Puller" I had expected!

[@TravisMontesano]

Good thing I watched your video. I had no idea I needed another tool to put the pulley back on. Thanks again for the save!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Interesting how much end play is acceptable. Nice demo with the tool Brian.

[@DomGarzaSR]

2:00 saved me from getting a power steering pump, what about the AC pulley, can it have slack like that

[@39knights]

I know that when putting on pressed wheel bearings there is a suggestion of putting them in the freezer to shrink them and make installation easier. Have you ever tried placing the pulley in an oven so it expands and would slip on much easier? Don't do enough to know myself but would be interesting to find out. Also I've been told that putting grease or anti-seize on the threads of pullers will lengthen their useful life.

[@grafduke7485]

Awesome video, very clear and this is the same power steering pump I've got on my 2003 Ford Crown-Victoria. Could you please also make a video on how to take out a broken end part of the installer bolt which unfortunately ended up being stuck in the pump axle? I think I probably had bought on amazon a good quality set, but I shouldn't have used the impact wrench for the install process 😢

[@PaulHenreid]

that happened to me too

[@vinceb9215]

Last year I did my phasers and all and changed idlers, tensioner, have new alternator, new water pump, etc. Now there is an intermittent squeal like a tensioner from the power steering pump side of the bay. Pulled the belt and everything is smooth and thought the play meant this was the issue but now I'm not sure. Thoughts? Thanks for all your videos too the phaser one was super helpful!

[@garyi2262]

A little heat will expand the pully a little and install is very easy. Pully only! Just do not heat it to much works great and an old school trick

[@roberts5858]

Didn't notice the end play until I was putting the belt back on. Thought for sure I was in trouble. Thanks for saying that it's normal

[@jamesengland7461]

He already mentioned don't heat the pulley. Plastic pulleys expand and contract VERY LITTLE with temperature changes, so you'd be wasting your time, and heat would likely damage the pulley. The small diameter of the pump shaft likely means that even leaving your pump in your deep freeze overnight won't shrink the shaft enough to make a noticeable difference either, but at least that won't hurt anything.

[@jagoss45]

2 weeks too late. But luckily I got a reman with the pulley installed and got the old one off without pulling the pulley.

[@cody6]

Good video Brian, I always did the pulley removal on the car. I never could get at the bolts and hoses with the pulley on

[@theundergroundlairofthesqu9261]

See FTM's video, Ford Quick Tips 75, for his advice on removing these pumps!

[@mikebadilla6970]

Thank you so much.I need all the help i can get.

[@thomashurley1163]

I’m following your excellent four-part timing chain videos and the last thing I need to do is to remove the power steering unit before I can pull off the timing cover. (I already found an incredible amount of broken plastic chunks from the timing chain guides in my oil pan so I know I am on the right track. My pickup tube was so clogged with plastic debris that if it were one of my coronary arteries I’d be on a table at the ER with paddles on my chest and someone shouting “Clear”). I was able to get the lower bolt loose but I’m having a heck of a time getting the top front bolt to break free and I’m afraid that I will round off the bolt if I try any harder. Is it possible to just remove the pulley and leave the rest of the power steering unit in place to get access to remove the timing cover? It looks like there is only a single 13mm bolt behind the pulley. Thank you for your excellent videos.

[@jdmeaux]

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@ickess]

I have the same pump in my 03 expedition Eddie Bauer edition. I got the cheapo kit like you have and the instructions are totally different. The show putting a button onto the end and then turn the center 1/2 in while holding the larger 13/16th nut in place. Needless to say it’s not working

[@roltyd22]

So you can use a 13/16 deep socket and brace the pulley so it wont turn and remove it right? It can be done on the car?

[@laveritesurlestemoinsdejeh8522]

Of course, almost all the japanese cars have bolt-on pulleys, real easy to remove and install. But, also of course, you never have to do it because they never fail...(or almost).

[@sB-yl6di]

I really appreciate the end play part. mine had some and i thought i had a bad pump

[@TheNightmare692009]

I going from 6 rib to 8rib. I hope this can be done with the pump on the motor.

[@baxrok2.]

Excellent demonstration! Thanks and happy holidays!

What was the red case installer kit you used you have a Amazon link for that kit also

[@joehyundaitech7961]

Briancan you include a link for the brass drift ?

[@petemiller5813]

With the interference fit so tight between the pump shaft and the pulley. Have you ever heated the pulley to install it to the pump shaft? Your thoughts on this procedure?

[@duaneb.1357]

Hello Ford Tech. Ive watched alot of your videos and I currently replaced the PS pump and lines on a 2007 Focus. I can not seem to get the air out of the system. Ive left vacuum on overnight also attached vacuum pump while going lock to lock with engine off. Once I start it it foams instantly. Thanks for your help.

[@mike289homebuilt5]

you have to get air out, duaneb. Sounds like a lemon car.

Why can’t we have shaft with threads, for pulleys, which tighten in the direction of the rotation.

[@timothyfay1209]

I am trying to install a new pulley on my pump while in the car, the tool keeps coming unthreaded from the pulley shaft. I suppose it would be much easier on the bench? But I need to install while the pump is on the car.

[@maherzaidan7190]

As usual nice video , I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 & happy new year 🎊

[@dennismwilson9677]

I have a 2002 Mustang GT. Just replaced my ENTIRE power steering system (rack; pump; all lines, except for the one coming off the reservoir with a Y, which isn't available any longer). There's currently zero fluid in my system. What would be the correct procedure(s), in order, to add fluid and bleed air from the pump and the entire system? Thank you. By the way, have watched MANY of your videos - they're ALWAYS excellent!

[@christhefistful]

Great info as always. Would you ever recommend preheating the pulley to make the install easier?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

no

[@Devo1987]

Will this be the same procedure on a 2005 ford focus ZX4 2.3 Liter ?

[@jagoss45]

Off topic but I have a Taurus brake question. Any idea why Ford has a different brake hose fitting for the rear passenger side caliper? There’s no banjo bolt and fitting just a straight hose threaded in the caliper. So the only way to get it off is to unscrew the whole caliper from the line. Total pain

[@hectorramirez9889]

I have a 2000 Ford v6 mustang 3.8l . I have replaced the recon pinion the steering pump twice all the lines and still has a whining noise. Some one told me to add Lucas that's recommended for a steering pump. Will that help ?

[@williamskelton6751]

I tend to respect my tooling just a bit more by using good grease between puller friction surfaces and threading components. Makes for less stress and longer tool life.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Mine was greased from past use.

[@krw5966]

When using an impact to take off the pulley, an amount of grease (small dab) on the threads of the tool, is not a bad idea... actually never a bad idea, even with hand tools.... Thanks for ALL your videos, I have found them so useful!

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Definitely I always make sure that forcing screw is lubricated there is allot of pressure on those threads.

[@michaelbricker2762]

Need to make a video on replacing the t/y connector on the 2015 5.0 due to leaking coolant.

[@adamr3028]

are there bearings on this pulley or when it starts whining bad it's because of the pump only?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Bearings don't make noise on the pumps, it is the pulley system failing in the FEAD.

[@johnnyrouse2713]

I have a 2005 Ford freestyle steering with easy then hard to turn then easy I already had a wreck here at the house that I had ordered and went ahead and put it on didn't fix it so then I put a power steering pump on didn't fix it only thing else I know possibly could be the intermediate shaft any response would be helpful I know it's hard to diagnose anything long-distance

[@buckclary3057]

Put new bare pump into freezer couple of hours,then put pulley on very easy,then let pump warm up to good temp and all is well

[@FordTechMakuloco]

You still need to press it on so you might as well just get it done and skip the wait.

[@JJ-nd8tj]

Hi Brian will that puller kit work on the c2 pump with reservoir?? Regards James

[@RoyalKingA73]

Excellent video

[@j.w.7688]

For vids are very helpful, thank you. Im replacing the power steering pump on my 2001 ford excursion, 6.8L V10. I ordered the pump, but mistakenly ordered the one with the reservoir. Can i just remove the reservoir and still use it, or, do i need to send it back and re-order the one without the reservoir? And guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@AC89-o9n]

I believe the C2 pump( the one with reservoir) has the mounting holes in the front where the shaft is and the C3( no reservoir) has it on the side as shown in this video. Hope that helps!

I put a new pump and pulley on my 99 f150 and the pulley installer from the parts store didn’t have the adapter. I used a socket and a 2.5 pound hammer to put it on. I didn’t beat it but tapped it until it was on. Was that bad for the pump or would it be ok?

[@fawxa6762]

Today for the first time I noticed a squealing sound when I turn the wheel to the right. But it ONLY happens when I turn to the right, and am moving. If I’m parked, there’s no noise. Also, if I turn the wheel ALL the way to the right until it can’t turn anymore, the squealing stops. Immediately I thought of the serp belt, but that doesn’t make sense to me because if it were the belt, I would think it would squeal whether I turn left OR right, and also when I’m parked and turn the wheel. Could it maybe be the power steering pump? But again, the left/right issue is throwing me off. The other thing is maybe it’s the steering column itself. But it sounds like squealing, not grinding.

Thanks man, my pulley is the old style pump and it has that little back and forth play that you said is normal and I was about to change the pump because I have a squealing belt that driving me crazy. I have a 2003 ford Taurus with the 3.0 over head valve and I'm having a difficult time finding the source of the squeal. I can spray the belt with water and the squeal goes away for a few seconds leading me to believe it's a pulley misalignment. I just can't find the source of the squeal.... any idea's on that particular engine???

No you must attach a puller as shown to press off the shaft. If you use a hammer or shop press you will blow out the back side of the pump.
