[@thebertt]

I have to do this tomorrow - again (second time in 6 year because I'm too cheap to buy a rebuilt unit - just junkyard one) anyway THANK YOU for taking the time to make this video - my memory's refreshed now.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

+thebertt Hello and Thanks for comment. :-)

[@billblackeye]

what about using other cars pump? do you know if any other fits?

[@G-spotGeorge]

This is how you install the pump if the engine is in the car already. See those 2 metal bushings the mounting bolts go through on the timing chain cover at 19:22 ? Hammer those out just enough to make room for the pump then when you go to tighten things back up (27 ft. lbs I think) they should push themselves back in. The easiest way to hammer them out is take one of the mounting bolts and slide it through the other mounting hole (the one without the bushing on the block side) then screw the nut onto it. (it might take you a few tries to get it to thread). Then hammer the top of the bolt (under your exhaust manifold) I know there is not much space so give it a bunch of small hits you can even spray some WD-40 on the metal bushings. The nut on the end will only let you push the metal bushing out so far so once its out as far as it will go do the other bushing. After that your pump will have plenty of room I threaded the bottom bolt first then the top was easy. Now stop hating on Peter Finn he makes very specific video even though they won't get him views like ChrisFix but they help so many clueless people

Dude thank you I was having so much trouble

Thanks, works for Pontiac Vibe and Toyota Matrix too!

[@toyotoe3732]

Thank you for this video

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

You are welcome.

[@TimEllenberger]

Thank you for the video. One note, putting the bolts in through the pulley will be a problem, should you need to replace the power steering pump in the future, while the engine is in vehicle. Re-install from the back-side of the pump in the same manner that you removed. It can then be changed within the vehicle in the future.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Tim Ellenberger Thank You for info.

[@zmarssojourner7435]

Can you please explain in a little more detailed manner what you are trying to say? thank you.

[@stormstrikellc4812]

@@zmarssojourner7435 By sliding the bolts in threads forst through pulley side, you reverse how they were originally installed. HOWEVER when engine is inside engine bay, you can't remove bolts if they have to slide out through the pulley. With that stated, Hopefully, after 6 years, you don't need this advise. But, if someone else needs this answer, may it help them.

[@skatinghorse]

I was going to say the same thing. Removing these bolts will be impossible once the engine is back in the vehicle. The bolts will be stopped by the frame when attempting to remove them from the pulley side.

[@shilau]

Hi Peter a few days ago I replaced the steering pump on a 2001 1ZZ FE engine 1.8 L with 95 KW and VVTI. The belt had been previously serviced by Toyota and releasing the 17mm bolt has been very difficult. It had been overtightned and I had to use heat to loosen it. I was afraid of ruining it. Such a shame that some technicians believe "the more tighten the better...." take care!!

This is really helpful, one question though, those bolts holding on to the pump itself, you put them in backwards on reinstalling right?....

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Chris DeHaro Yes. These bolts are quite tight and I could be difficult to open those. But, please try with good tools.

Phu Sam Thank You for comment. :-)

[@54321tontor]

When you first un-installed the pump you took the bolts out the back part of the pump. . When you re-installed the pump you put the bolts threw the front of the pulley. I think that would be a problem when the engine is on the car. Their will no room too slide threw the pulley side?

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Tony Torres Yes, this could be issue.

[@khaledallahyar9814]

Tony Torres

[@dalestanley6618]

Tony Torres is correct because once the engine is installed there will be no way to get the bolts out. The need to go in the back and the nuts go through the pulley.

[@jetd6764]

haha someone pays attention.

[@joeyoung1498]

You gotta take the wheel off the car and hit it from that angle.

[@markconley9279]

You shouldn’t have to loosen the tensioner bolt because the tension constantly rides on the belt and isn’t Locked in place. Unless of course the tensioner is frozen at the pivot bolt from corrosion.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Hi and Thanks for Feedback. :-)

[@Jamespennington71]

[@fireyourrocketts]

Thanks for the video, I am doing this tomorrow but engine is in the car and it is a bitch to do it but it needs to be out of the way as i am fixing head gasket and timing cover needs to be out, possibly replacing oil pump too. The nuts for those bolts go on the pulley side, or else if needed to get out once the engine is in you would need to take the engine out.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Ok and Thanks :-)

+Navruzi Khurosoni Hi, please add more air pressure to your tyres. About 2.2 BAR

[@zapszapper9105]

You put the mounting bolts in through the pulley but you took them out the pump side. This means when you put the engine in the car you won't be able to take the power steering pump off with out taking the engine out first. Hope it lasts a while for you then.

[@PeterFinnTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for info. :-)

[@johnbecker316]

no need to take motor out...........the brackets that hold the pump must be taken off the pump and then the pump comes out, then switch pumps in the brackets while on the engine........14 mm box wrench with long pipe handle helps get bolts loose. takes 4 or 5 hours with front wheel off car. up on jacks

Yes, it is also possible. To replace the pulley.

I tried tightening the pulley bolt... but it just spins... Now the belt fell off. Seems the shaft / bearings failed?

stick a big screwdriver through the holes on the pulley to hold it while taking a 14 mm box wrench to the nut that holds the pulley on the shaft.

Is the pulley replaceable on the pump without taking it off the engine?
