Power Steering Pump Replacement For 09’-14’ Maxima

[@colby7x]

Shout out to this dude he dedicated to getting the right angles for us💪

[@JaegerDives]

You are a life saver. I am going to do this over the New Year's break. I bought the Hitachi pump and hoses from Rock Auto. I have three Maximas that I am trying to keep on the road as long as possible. They are decent cars if maintained, in my experience.

[@1metroelec]

I got them out. I can't get them back in.

[@bigfleet6559]

Did you get them back in?​@@1metroelec

Everything on these cars is hard as heck to change . Just did the alternator and it was a beast

[@StartikSounds]

Fucking ac compressor smoked my ass….cus it failed 2 weeks later

[@cometogetherlikevoltron1230]

@@StartikSounds yeah but the engines are good if you keep your oil change. My transmission has 285,000 miles on it. It’s a good second vehicle

[@bigfleet6559]

Yea that alternator did me in, had me up all night.

Fyi for anyone watching. This video fails to mention two additional 13mm bolts at the top of the pump. They are by far the hardest part of this job.

[@ScorpionMultimedia]

thanks for letting everyone know about the 2 additional bolts, I didn't know mines didn't have them. I just went on nissan website and seen the diagram i just ordered the 2 missing bolts for mines

[@myadler]

@@ScorpionMultimedia yours were probably left out by someone before because I can tell you they aren't easy to get back in.

[@jordanfollett1675]

What is the best way to remove those?

[@myadler]

​@@jordanfollett1675 you need to take off a bracket on top of it (2x10mm) then the two bolts are underneath. You need small arms, a variety of socket sizes and extensions, and a weeks worth of patience.

@@myadler do u need the specialty tools J-26357 and J-33914 for bleeding the system? if not how did you guys go about doing that.

[@ELCLAVE300]

I cannot get my banjo bolt back on. For some reason it will not align.

[@Gardiel787b]

Hello there you fail to mention the two bolt above the pulley that not one can see but you remove!

[@mden98]

Update: The Lucas PS stop leak did not slow down the leak and it turns out it wasn't the pump but the pressure hose which was very difficult to replace. Germain Nissan in Columbus, OH wants $267 for the hose and $530(3 hrs labor), for a total of $797, before taxes. Here is a good video on replacing the hose: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3KQYqyCrq-goMk&ab_channel=TRQ I just attempted to replace my PS pump after watching how easy this video appeared. I should have read the comments below, which mention 2 additional top bolts which apparently someone had not previously re-installed on this maxima. I rarely have a job I cannot complete but this was the exception as I never saw the top 2 bolts. I did try to loosen the 3 front bracket bolts(thru the pulley holes) but this did'nt help. I was barely able to get it back together as I was prying on the pump and none of my bolt holes would line up. As my leak was a minor leak, I went against my better judgement and used a bottle of Lucas PS stop leak. Not a fan of any type of stop leak but I do not think I am capable of removing this pump.

[@willpage79]

Are 2 13mm bolt require i aint putting them back

[@primetimebrian9068]

Nahhh i like this video you aint just cut out to where you did it type shit i fuck with this GGs bro thank you keep doing videos like this one 😭😭🤣

[@lobssangmarrero4781]

Good video but that maxima takes Dexron type ATF for power steering fluid. Not power steering fluid

[@errolbeaumont8728]

How you get to 2 12s from the top

[@baller562009]

I just took the three bolts from the front bracket from the wheel

[@jesusaaj]

Great video dude

[@mranonymous7771]

I’m never buying another Nissan again! Uuuugggghhhhh!!!!!
