Thank you for sharing this video, it made my job so much easier, partly because I was working on my neighbors HHR and not a G6. Other videos were removing the steering wheel and then that section of the column. If you have ever been to a self-serve wrecking yard, you know the hard part is finding the car you are looking for especially if they are not grouped well. I needed the power steering assembly and was in and out in less than 2 hours. Everything about the HHR assembly is easier than a G6. When I started the disassembly of her car to the time I was test driving it was 2 hours, total piece of cake, again thank you. Happy Thanksgiving

Great video, thanks for making it. I hate, HATE, working on things under the dash. Just no room and lying on your back is a PIA. You have a lot more patience than I do. About half way through this I would have poured a gallon of gas in the car and just lit it up. Hope I never have to do one of these.

Hard enough to change much less film and remove. The Star bits are actually called "TORX" bits, used by the military 35+ years. Like AN 37 degree liquid fitting used on aftermarket "Go-Fast" cars and trucks but those were used in WW-II. DK ASE Master tech dealer mostly since 78, retired!

@@Marty09933 Hey dude, you work for it! It like a battle against time everyday as I did everything at the dealers on one brand. Diff, done light, 4 X 4 stick to burn't #3 exhaust and I cut my own valves and seats with (Nue-Way) tungsten carbide, then pull out a 4L30e and put a new band and back it of from torque so no shutter. The factory rep said I was the only tech from Denver to Chicago that would touch one. No high school shop, didn't have one, no tech school, just farm surround by equipment. You earned it buddy. Electric it my fav!!! Confirm, study schematic, diagnose root cause, repair, replace, solder & shrink. Park and get another. 6 days a week, 7AM - 9PM at night. Hey, ever come home, crack open a beer and wake! It's 3AM and I am still holding the can? Just got bad news email yesterday. Fighting a back injury outside the shop, boss argued about, then surgery 1, dye in spine #2, then bone fuse to vertebrae? Spine slipped, bracket bars & screws, 16 years ago, COVID lifted, more bars, brackets, screws, Dr did like the last on, replaced it, kept and gave me cause he knew I liked tech stuff, then RFA, nothing. Electrodes in 6 day trial, 60-70% good, month later they put in, turn on and went in heels not up? Back-ass-words. New electrodes, nothing, device manufacturer said they are done, ain't heard from Dr. So, sit in garage and look at 4 shinny SnapOn's, just look! Turned into 60's, Santa brings wheel chair? Sucks dude. Be true to yourself, treat customer above and beyond, life will be good. Save money in second savings. Pay into it like a monthly bill. No law says you can have just one. College, fridge, motorcycle, new windows, what ever and clue! Go to credit union, not-for-profit. You will be glad as 42 years go fast when you work/sleep/work/slee... you get it. Voltage drop and dielectric grease. I feel naked without my Fluke 87-5. DK. Retired, ready to go...somewhere!

I am 6'4" tall and 280 lbs. and 76 years old, with lower back issues. I laid down under the dash, with my lower back getting hammered, laying over the large hump in the door, not to mention a long back and long arms. After messing with it for a bit and looking it over. I decided this is a job for a younger and smaller person than me. I didn't take the bottom cover and brace off which would helped a lot, but afraid if I stayed there any time, It would have not have an enjoyable experience, so told my granddaughter I am too big for this job. You looked like you were much smaller and younger than me and you were having problems. I guess you need to know your limits and not tackle something like this and do yourself damage.

@Marty09933 I have a question for you if you don't mind. I just replaced mine with a reman. unit and while it doesnt jerk side to side at the steering wheel anymore, it pulsates with slight vibration while driving. It had a new torque sensor and everything. Steering wheel pulled out and reinstalled with no to minimal movement. What could it be?

My electric power steering works and then stops working randomly. If I restart the car it work again for a while then stops working again. My radio has the “power steering” message, that’s it. No wheel shake or vibrations. I already cleaned the connections to the motor with no change. Do you think my problem is the electric motor? Or the torque sensor?

if you have a Pontiac G6 (years 2006 - 2008), your power steering is about to crap out. Same thing happened to me, pretty much locks up the steering wheel (why they would design a car w/ that type of failure mechanism is beyond me). You can call GM to see if the recall they put out covers your car (it didn't for me) or you can buy a new PSAM (power steering assist motor) and go to mechanic and have them replace it - it's actually very doable, I did it on mine just off watching KZbin vids
