Subaru Outback 2002 Power Steering Replacement

[@nickt8750]

Thanks for the video and assistance. This will come in handy when I am attempting to replace my steering pump lines as the pump itself looks fine. I don't have the money to invest to take it to the shop nor do I know anyone who is willing do it for me so I have been learning to do my own mechanic work.

Well done, you gave me the courage and guidance to tackle this job myself and avoid the $850 that Heuberger Motors in Colorado Springs wanted to charge me for this job...for a 2008 Subaru Outback I bought from them three months ago. The very expensive warranty I purchased (Zurich Re is the insurance company) did not cover the power steering pump because it was not a "named component" in the warranty brochure. A rebuilt pump is $100. I am retired and avoiding this bullet means something to me. Thanks for the post.

Thanks so much for sharing this!!! I think it's so important to encourage and share with people how to actually do things for themselves vs. hiring EVERYTHING to be done for them! Great video and great job! Thanks again.

If you fill the pump and hand prime it by turning the wheel by hand in the proper direction prior to final connection and turning on the engine, you will avoid much air in the system and hence no squealing.

this is great, loved when your lady came to ask if you wanted to go out, ummm sure just give me a couple hours! thanks for the vid!

[@wesleyshaw6856]

Thanks for the vid man, especially the old pump tear down, great to know how it works, to better diagnose what is wrong with mine lol.

[@amyshaw444]

Wesley? Is that you?? What are the chances I would end up on the same video 5 years later :P

[@jimmytedder2271]

I just replaced my pump with the help of this video, thanks a bunch for posting it.

[@billsafreed9982]

Thanks for posting Ray. On the cost I was able to recharge my '10 Forester A/C for less than $40 by watching a vid here on KZbin. You can save a lot by watching what others have done here.

[@chancecsmith]

I liked the part when someone started talking to you mid tear down. I think it would be awesome to see videos like this with people talking about everyday stuff while taking care of business.

Just replaced the PS pump on my '08 Legacy Outback without removing radiator hose or coolant. Very easy - took less than an hour. Also was able to elevate the whole assembly above the level of the reservoir and then just swap the hoses to the new pump and put it all back together only losing maybe a half cup of PS fluid. Remember - the long lower bolt goes to the right and the short one to the left!

[@Amnlacy]

super helpful till the thing disappears what about the bolt holding it in place

[@DaytonCarCare]

You can get hose crimpers (or use needle nose vise grips) to pinch the rubber lines so it wont spray fluid

[@rushpri5175]

Helped me alot thanks

[@lauramckinley6930]

to stop the first squeek i prelubed the power steering pump an to get the pump out with out taking out the bracket is take a pry bar an push back on the old pump that will also reset the crush pin on the back of the pump i did the pre lube with power steering fuid in all the open holes in the pump before i put the lines back on an hand powered the pump all most like bench bleedind a master cilder grate vid btw if ya take some pb blater before ya pry on the old pump it will kind help the pin to move ezer so its not to hard to move an keep the long bolt as far back as ya can also ya cant get the back bolt out so but the pump will come out with out the bracket

[@haveyouheardoftheconstitut6534]

Ok so I topped off the power streering and you changed the pump for the noise so what I want to ask is what would I do if it a little tuff to steer the qheele. How would I make th wheel easyer to steer

[@eh5150]

I'm going to replace the pump tomorrow on my 2000 Outback. Was it really necessary to take off the radiator hose? I want to do the job without causing a big mess cuz I live in an apartment complex. Thanks for sharing the vid!!

[@rocesboyanthony5343]

I need the answer to this question because same and same

[@zackscarborough6402]

I have a Subaru outback 2.5 and I did all of that and it still will not budge

[@tylerdietrich7212]

I wish you would have explained what was going on, or what size the bolts were.

[@manuelgalvan6892]

Pretty simple he is removing first the exhaust vacuum then the tensioner for the belt then the hoses and then the housing bolts I’m not sure I’m about to do it myself but it looks simple I’m not sure all of the removing was necessary but I’ll see

[@joshuaosborne287]

Thanks for your help!

[@tilly7326]

Hey great video but you went through a lot of unnecessary trouble. These things are plug and play: remove the belt, remove all the bolts and hoses holding it in, swap out parts, and reattach. Cheers

[@johngriffey2244]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@Flies2FLL]

What airport do you live next to-?

[@nochartmozart]

You rock. That vid was fantastic

[@chancecsmith]

It softens the anxiety of tearing a car apart.

[@pirihern9329]

Very helpful video,I have a 2006 subaru sti with leaking psp .ordered a cardone pump to swap out .concerned about the quality of the cardone pump.how is yours holding up? I also have a reseal kit for the subaru one . Much thanks for your time and effort have a great day

[@eclipse720]

Hey! would doing this job on a 03" impreza wrx be similar? the layout looks similar.

[@njstupid]

I think they are the same up until the 2004.... make sure you replace the fluid with Dextron III tranny fluid

[@Viralityoflife]

Would the 2002 Impreza WRX rack fit my 2002 Subaru Outback?

[@chrisrod6579]

the reason it squealed at the end is because you forgot to drain the air out of the pump, this was the main reason why it started to foam.

[@jojopolizzi8323]

Did you put the O-ring on

[@Flies2FLL]

None of this applies to the H6 which has a serpentine belt.

[@du39104]

who's that lady? sounded very pleasant her voice is so sweet

[@SkateSmokeAndDrum]

The lady who he called babe? Hmm, must be his school teacher. Mabye his doctor?? Hmm who would he be calling babe hmmmm ...

[@thetruthmatters7]

Thanks! Helpful video. God bless you, Jesus loves you, and He is the way of salvation!

[@TheJdh420]

Maybe explain what you're doing as you're doing it nobody wants to just watch you quietly work on a car

[@njstupid]

But they will comment on my video of me quietly working on my car

[@saultrips6730]

wtf. you vid bounces back and forth. not a good vid of how to replace the pump,

[@stevenharden803]

Smh 🤦🏻
