[@clwnluv1]

Great job! Professional right here! You made that look so easy!👏👏👏

[@PsychoSainten]

That fact its raining makes the diy video all the better! Funny how the weather is always crappy when you need to fix the car.

[@tamaolemolioleava684]

By far the easiest replacement video I've found, thanks for posting bud.

[@603Mechanicvids]

thanks and no problem glad I could help

[@jakeknobbe5270]

What was the name of the tool and kit

[@isaakfroese4038]

Last video i found made me not want to do it, this one made it look so easy and helped a lot. Thanks

[@603Mechanicvids]

glad I could help

[@OKHotrodder-cg5gu]

I've done this job many times, and I'm still wondering why people remove the shroud and fan. Totally unnecessary. Disconnect neg battery cable. Take the belt off. Disconnect the alternator connector, not the power wire, take the two bolts out, set it to the rear. Disconnect the two hydraulic lines. Remove the four alternator/pump bracket bolts and one behind the pump. Slide the bracket/pump straight up, take it completely out of the vehicle. Then remove the pulley and mount bolts, swap the other parts from old to new pump, put the pulley back on, then slide the whole thing back in. Reverse process. Saves time and no fighting with the puller while bent over the front end. Sounds harder but it's much easier and saves time.

[@tomasm1526]

Can you make a video?

Well done video, good technique. I've always pulled the alternator from the bracket, never thought about leaving it attached. I will be pulling a pump in the morning, so this refresher will definitely help.

Great video thank you for posting please note....in a lot of vids I've seen not many use a torque wrench improperly kudos to you for holding your torque for a couple seconds each time that's the difference in experience and techniques

[@603Mechanicvids]

[@carlcapell605]

Best u-tube video….great job sir and thank you 🙏

[@mountainbiker44]

Excellent video. I don’t have a Silverado truck but I still watched

[@603Mechanicvids]

Thank you I appreciate it 👍

[@justingrubbs4622]

Awesome video, going to change the pump on my in-laws Yukon. 🤜

[@kennethpullen6889]

Mine went out 2 days ago. I was surprised it was without warning, or maybe I just wasn't paying attention..... I just called a nearby place and they want $980 to do it. Thanks to your video I feel more confident doing it myself. For some reason I thought one of the hoses was a high-pressure hose that made it best for a shop to do it. Not sure why I thought that tho. Wish I had done it 6 months ago when I replaced the water pump. Anyways, thanks for posting.

[@chrispello5487]

Thank you sir, great video 👍👍

[@quintonhope3296]

There's one of the best videos I've ever seen on how to repair a automobile👍👍👍👍

[@603Mechanicvids]

Thank you so much man. I just bought my first truck at 15 and the power steering pump went out so I decided I would fix and this video helped a lot

[@ljc3837]

Excellent Video!!

[@frankheck2036]

Awesome video, thanks it’s very helpful. I have the same truck.

[@603Mechanicvids]

[@curtisowinfrey4375]

Yea watching this gave me hope and belief that I can swap this out on my own ... imma give it a try tomorrow and will use this video as a guide

[@603Mechanicvids]

you got this 👍

[@curtisowinfrey4375]

​@603Mechanicvids yes sir.. how long would you say total time was to complete.. a hr each way??

[@603Mechanicvids]

@curtisowinfrey4375 45 minutes to an hour each way but it depends on your experience for sure

[@1waycyrus]

It helped me out a lot

[@JRich165]

Dope video. Followed it every step of the way. Now I’m trying to put the replacement in and have found that my bracket is different. I have two stud bolts that I can’t get out of the old pump to put on the new pump. I called Auto Zone, Advance, NAPA and Parts Authority and neither of them carry the stud bolts. I’m dead in the water trying to find for a 2003 5.3 1500 Chevy express.

[@gbipit1]

Excellent video

[@hustleupboys4801]

Great video

[@rustyshackleford4192]

[@craigoryrobie5676]

Thank you so much!!!

[@07Hawkeye]

my pump just let go while on the way to dunkin. what a pain in the ass it is to turn that wheel without power steering, nice video, short and to the point.

[@603Mechanicvids]

damn that sucks. yes its very hard to turn the wheel, power steering is definitely a must in these trucks

[@earlfletcher4814]

Best damn how to video

[@ArmChair_Operator]

Should have the front wheels off the ground when your bleeding the air out and go lock to lock ten times. That's what's instructed in the Chilton's shop manual

[@zertext6099]

Great video bad luck. Of course it start raining at the end lol thank you though this was great man

[@MegaHowtoMan]

These trucks are beasts. Look at the mud everywhere. Doesn't matter to the Chevy 5.3L.

[@user-mh6nm4um7y]

Thank you

[@TheYokeOfFaith]

Thank you sir

[@johnnycobb4527]

Very good vido

[@taylorianetta8169]

Dudes a hero. Detailed video and posted links for the tools used

[@swampy8457]

When removing the fan is there something else i can use to to to hold pully in place

[@clintmoffet435]

Thanks man. Has helped me a ton. I'm about to put the pulley back on. When installing it do you run it in until it bottoms out or how do you know how far to press it on

[@603Mechanicvids]

glad it has helped out and press it on until it bottoms out

[@Goldeal]

I get a random “traction active” message and lose power for a second from standstill acceleration and sometimes while turning from a stop. I rebuilt my leaky steering gear box and changed my bad high pressure hose but still have a small leak coming from somewhere else as I see small splatter marks in the surrounding areas. Could it be my pump/reservoir?

[@lilcrabman]

what if my pulley is just wobbling would it need to just get tightened up?

[@rmp608]

THANK YOU!! OWE YOU A COLD BEER!!!

[@marioking983]

I got a power steering leak. Im not sure if it's my hydro booster or the pump lol but either way, this looks easy 😂 i say that, but I'd end up turning it into a week job, lol 😂

[@cloutkingupnext4721]

I just need to replace the bearings in mine but I think I have to do whole pump

[@YoungBloodGhost]

how do you flush the system before you replace the pump

[@adolfocardenas3345]

I got a 2002 Chevy Silverado and like when my truck is still it’s hard to move my steering wheel left or right but I check if it need steering wheel fluid but no it was all good you think it’s the pump ?

[@603Mechanicvids]

sounds like a bad pump for sure

[@zachdow8789]

Good job, but don’t have to remove the fan to do it wasn’t very hard at just didn’t remove it

[@cameronstephenson3840]

So i did my power steering pump and now steering shaft seal is leaking everytime i turn the steering wheel any ideas on why?

[@Vivianauxito]

Thanks for sharing your expertise! We just emailed you for doing an LED lighting review?would like our product could be a part of your fantastic content 🙏🏻hope hear from you soon

[@Juan2Hungry]

Is is necessary to torque the lugs at 37 foot pounds. 7:20 I’m the videos is when he does it.

[@thesetruths1404]

Hey I have a 2005 Yukon SLT 5.3L automatic with 218,000 miles. All stock equipped. Doesn't make any noise of any kind, that's abnormal. Well kept and daily driver. I drove it out on the highway for 300 miles and when I exited Interstate it was in manual steering mode...stiff to turn like it had no pump at all. And the brakes were not boosted either. It's not the belt or fluids of steering or brakes...all good. No leaks. No codes. No smells. No noises of pump failure. It only does it at low rpms when coming to stop, under 700 rpm. It works fine when above that. And the brakes are unboosted when it does it also, but work. This is the pump I assume? Remove and replace eh? Suggestions of what pump brands you had success with? I'm eyeballing the O'Reily $72 special. Thanks!

[@brandonknox7413]

as far as your problem you’re describing i would also say bad pump. as far as what pump the edelmann pump is good and has 100 year/1,000,000 mile warranty. $135 on rock auto. also got all edelmann lines and inline filter.

[@brandonknox7413]

everything together (pump, fluid, lines and filter) was just under $300 for me

[@Dilly-oq3vv]

Where did you get that little torque bar from?

[@603Mechanicvids]

home depot

[@swampy8457]

What else can i use for the water pump pully

[@SuperJlonergan]

You don't need to take that off. Just push the tensioner over and pull belt off pump only

[@swampy8457]

Is this the same set up as an 04 chevy silverado I know it says in in title just want to make sure

[@603Mechanicvids]

yes

[@zynnertime1]

Was it squealing when you turned the wheel either way before you replaced it? I have an 03 silverado and it’s squealing when I turn either way at certain angles and the power steering fluid is full and it doesn’t seem to go down really I’m not sure what’s wrong with it I think the steering rack and pinion is bad too because it’s giving all the symptoms of it

[@603Mechanicvids]

it was squealing worse the more I'd accelerate, and the main shift seal was no good

[@user-qp2ts7ic6i]

Do I need to remove the allan bolt in the center?

[@603Mechanicvids]

no

[@randyjohnson6742]

So much extra being done here it’s wild mans pulled the fan clutch for no reason a the alternator bracket for no reason. Could’ve not sone all that an saved himself a hour

[@rickcorey5908]

Maybe he did the extra for filming purposes?

[@MikeHawk42O]

Betting that belt chirped like a song bird. Pulley needs to go on shaft further about another 1/8"

[@MrGapack1965]

How long did it take you to replace the pump?

[@603Mechanicvids]

hour and a half in all

[@timmykutz4594]

Do I have to take the fan off?

[@603Mechanicvids]

i believe you can but it'll be more of a pain to access everything for the replacement

[@anthonygarcia5222]

Got a leak on my 2006 Chevy Silverado it leaks power steering fluid and every time I top off my fluid it leaks it all within 2 days and starts to make a nasty whining noise any help on what it could be ?

[@603Mechanicvids]

either a bad power steering line or bad pump, the whining noise is from no fluid in the power steering pump

[@anthonygarcia5222]

Thank you very much sir!

[@erickduarte8852]

I also had this problem but the leak was from a tear in the driver rack and pinion boot

[@oscarfuentes-hd2cw]

Your torque specs aren’t correct after using the torque wrench the video showed you continued wrenching it past the clicking point but other then that everything was perfectly explained, thank you.

[@blakew8489]

Bro I cannot figure the damn puppy pusher out. I’ve already installed the new pump. Just can’t get the damn pulley back on.

[@gbenz6494]

I thought the power steering pulley requires a special tightening procedure.

[@silverFoxx90]

I just did this installed a new pump and still leaking at the bottom of the pump same spot at the old one

[@603Mechanicvids]

damn thats no good, sounds like a defective pump, unless one of your lines are leaking id inspect those lines

[@silverFoxx90]

@@603Mechanicvids yea I checked the lines make sure they ain’t leaking seems like the bottom off the pump maybe faulty since I did purchase at auto zone. Known to sell faulty party’s

[@user-ev5pj3dy4o]

How much Will Cost this repair

[@603Mechanicvids]

for a shop to do it? or to do it yourself?

[@jeremiahslawncare8571]

I unscrewed the intake tube and can’t even take it off🤣,maybe it’s stuck?

[@joeydurocher5450]

Crap power steering puller 😵 I did this job 14 years ago lol. Was worth it on a 1994 dodge caravan

[@moisestovar4392]

Don’t you have to purge the lines once it topped off with power steering fluid

[@603Mechanicvids]

just leave the cap off and turn your wheel left to right to bleed air out of system

[@gusmartinez90]

Electric fans rule!

[@taylorfarnsworth6404]

Reckon i can get away with not removing the fan
