Bro, this is dooope! A shop quoted me $980 to do this and I was like fuck that, gonna pick up the pump and do it myself on my 08 forester. It looks to be about the same process.

I have an 05 Subaru Outback, making awful noise on cold starts and turns in colder temps. No noticeable loss of fluid. Belt appears tight, I changed the top return hose and clamps, added an o-ring on the part that attaches to the pump. Have tried bleeding the air multiple times, turning the wheels and it works for the day, until it sits over night,

[@brianvandy4002]

Check the hoses for leaks. You might clean them off first then check them a day later to see what's wet. All hoses, not just the ones gonig to the pump, but also the ones that go down to the steering.

I see the hoses to the old power steering pump are cut; did you replace the hoses with the new power steering pump? Looking forward to doing this for my mother tomorrow morning thank you.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

I believe so. Been a while

[@daniellucatero-jimenez.1440]

@@FatGuyBuilds & to bleed it you just went back & forth & the pump slowly stopped whining loud right? Appreciate the knowledge definitely will leave a tip through here if all goes well 🤙

[@FatGuyBuilds]

@@daniellucatero-jimenez.1440 yes

[@daniellucatero-jimenez.1440]

@@FatGuyBuilds I replaced my pump in my 2011 outback w/ the 3.6l. Turned the steering wheel side to side making sure I couldn't hear the pump whine anymore & after all said & done whenever I go into reverse & turn to back out the car will idle really low until it completely turns off. Do you think it's a separate issue?

I'm going to try this myself soon. Thank you for the video. What is the product that used to re-grease some of the connections?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Easy

[@chrisscahel1204]

@@FatGuyBuilds thanks for the quick reply! I'm sorry I don't understand... is the grease product called easy?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

@@chrisscahel1204 sorry i was saying the job was easy. any grease will do the job. for RTV it is called "permatex ""RIGHT STUFF""

[@darthbill68]

Do you have to just add fluid back to the cold Max line? Do you have to bleed air out after the repairs?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Add. Check next few days.

[@synthwavedirtbag]

@@FatGuyBuilds what about the air that might get locked in the hoses along with the air that is most likely in the new pump? I just added to max line and when I started her up the fluid immediately frothed up with air and started over flowing at reservoir and at the pump...

[@FatGuyBuilds]

@@synthwavedirtbag no. P/s automatically bleeds air out just by turning the wheel back and forth

[@synthwavedirtbag]

@@FatGuyBuilds ok thanks. turns out I damaged the upper hose/PSpump interface. new pump was a very snug fit so I tapped with hammer in the wrong place! air coming into the system at that point! FAIL!

[@ForrestZX]

No issues with the new used power steering pump from the junk yard? Mines leaking, squealing, and bit hard to turn at times. I need to replace mine too. 🙃

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Works fine on mine

[@perfectsquare2167]

Great video my friend. Neat.

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Thanks 👍

[@sharonmyers5510]

Sorry, didn’t mean to send yet... I lifted the front yesterday to take a look. I did find a leak from right above the driver’s side inner axle bellow that seemed to be from my turning the wheels back and forth. Not enough to measure. Any thoughts?

Hello, please, I have a problem with my car. Can you help us? I bought the pump power from the agency, because the old one is wasting oil. But now it is flowing from the oil tank, we don't know what the problem is, can you help me? My 2006 Legacy

[@FatGuyBuilds]

Did u seal where the tank and the pump meet

[@flygemini2486]

Did those 2 torx bolts in the front go all the way in?

[@FatGuyBuilds]

They should and tighten the pump to the bracket.

[@andrewoshea6598]

How did you get the bottom bolt out? I’m doing this right now and the bottom bolt will not come out.

[@andrewoshea6598]

I found out I had to take the bracket off anyways,,

@@andrewoshea6598 glad you got it figured out!

[@SkyMuffinz]

Hey I got an occasional atf smoke cloud coming out of pump area it was really bad at first got pump stuff tightened up but it still smokes atf occasional after parking. Is it more likely the hoses? Rack and boots seem fine

[@FatGuyBuilds]

i would reseal the hoses then see.

[@SkyMuffinz]

@@FatGuyBuilds yeah I'm assuming it's leaking somewhere and dripping on header of exhaust

How long does it take to replace pump. My Subaru dealer says 4 hours!?

That is probably book time. 2-2.5 is realistic

Any EJ engine

[@clarkgriswold4057]

Man this is giving me a headache. I recently installed a new power steering pump on my 04 Legacy. Turning is better initially, but the more sharp turns I make, the more the steering wheel gets stiffer. I popped the hood and realized there's a pool of steering fluid that's leaking from the top of the new steering pump, right where the lines go in. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try next?
