HOW TO REPLACE Jeep POWER STEERING PUMP // Jeep Wrangler JK 3.6L

Today on JD Cars we’ll be installing a new power steering pump on our 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport equipped the 3.6L pentastar engine. I picked up a rebuilt pump from Advance Auto Parts for this job and it worked out perfectly. I was surprised with how straightforward the replacement was. Just three 13mm bolts hold the pump to the engine block and there’s one inlet line and one outlet line, as expected. Just don’t forget to install the new seals along with the c-clip from your old pump! I hope you enjoyed the video. Please leave any future video suggestions down below in the comments.

Hey thanks, great vid and even though you warned me, I still smashed my hand taking off the line :-). Took me 2.5 hours just like you suggested. For those with stock plastic fender inners, I just took off the front 4 plastic fasteners and bent it back. Really appreciate the detailed procedure, awesome job.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Jamie, I'm glad you found the video helpful! I hope your hand is alright 😅 Thanks for the tips for those with stock fenders!!

[@lifted8464]

Thanks fer the video, I was literally stranded in the middle of nowhere, so I had to do this on the side of the road. Really glad ya made it. Thanks a lot, stay safe

[@joewood7761]

Great video! Glad you made this, because my pump went out yesterday and I just got my new pump today. Looks like a pretty simple job.

I have the exact same issue with my 15 JK. Long arm suspension with 35" tires. Bought the exact same pump before finding this video so really glad I saw this. Thanks for the help man and letting me know I can do it myself!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Good Video. Thx

[@Jay-sz5dt]

Great job JD cars! I’m thinking about buying mustang GT for summer since I sold my Jeep! Awesome video and awesome skill :)

[@JDCarsChannel]

That would be a fun summer project!

[@urqed5305]

Great video! Funny and informative, it helped me in changing the ps pump on my 2012. I too made a blood sacrifice when loosening the high pressure line as well!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha! I'm glad you got a kick out of it and found it useful. Hopefully not too big of a sacrifice 😂

[@urqed5305]

Is but a flesh wound!

[@SSP69LV]

This is the best way for sure! Thanks for posting!

[@JDCarsChannel]

You bet! Glad to be of help

[@dustinrenner7553]

It's recommended to flush the entire system before installing a new pump just incase there is contaminates from the old broken pump.

[@rickswain4137]

Awesome vid man. Just ordered my pump (old one squeeling like a banshee, can here it over the radio). Be tearing into it in a couple days (2012 Gecko JKU), and really didnt know where to begin.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hell yeah man! I hope it all went well for you 👊🏼

[@MRGIBBSOHIO1269]

You stated the bracket top bolts are 13mm, they're indeed 1/2 sae. Would hate to see someone round the head off. Great video though

[@BRBTechTalk]

Thank you, my 2014 JKU is having the same issue. #BRBAdventurer I might tackle this myself.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Happy to help! Best of luck!

[@Zombielunchbox]

Thanks a ton bud! Went wheeling yesterday and they pump went out lol

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad to help man! You'll be back out wheeling in no time 🤟

[@jarrettweiss7946]

Anyone know what size the bolts are to mount the pump to the mounting bracket? Long story but I lost two of them.

[@the-bu3lb]

I though it was my pump. When I let go after a turn instead of the wheel quickly spinning back it stutters back a .25 at a time. Still have no idea why. Any ideas ?

[@LalandeAndCo]

Same process for 2017?

[@bendempsey9772]

Excellent video thank you at the eight minute point there is the small plastic bag with the large and small rubber O-ring and also 2 copper or brass O-rings where do the brass O-rings go? Are they spacers ?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad it helped! I'm not sure how to explain in a comment but we did show the location of these seals in the video. Please watch closely

[@halletorrez7740]

Okay does the steering fluid matter ? What brand i got a 2016 wrangler rubicon

[@Timw00d13]

What model maxjax is that? Also how tall is your garage? I believe my garage is similar height so I’d be amped if this could work for me!

[@boghammar1423]

Thanks

[@JDCarsChannel]

No problem. Glad to help

[@jeepinintexas6215]

What store did you get the Castrol ATF4 from? No one seems to sell it locally where I live and we even have a Summit Racing nearby that say they have special order it.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I believe I got it at Advance Auto Parts, but not positive. You should be able to order online worst case. Best of luck!

[@leorael4497]

I have a 2015 jeep wrangler jk , the steering is becoming stiff when turning, steering pump is not leaking , could it still be the power steering pump?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes, it could be. But it could also be a bad joint

[@DDecker2010]

Do you think someone took the c clip out? why would they send the pump all sealed up with out a cheap c clip on the inside? Just curious man. I replaced mine, bleed the system with a hand vaccum pump and it still has a little bit of whine. def more than the stock ever had. do you get the same?

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

Did you prime the pump before connecting the pressure line? Basically you connect the reservoir, fill it, spin the pump by hand about 30 times until fluid leaks out the pressure line, connect the hard line while it leaks out and then bleed. That should take care of the whine if the air in the system hasn't already damaged it. Good luck. 👍

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

PS he didn't show this step and sometimes you get lucky...which he probably didor he doesn't care thatits noisy.

[@danmulkiewicz5515]

And yeah, I think he got a defective pump missing the c clip.

[@whoamiaka3071]

way too many adds could not get through it

[@spencerderosier6649]

No doust about it
