Subaru power steering pump replacement

2008 Subaru Forester power steering pump replacement

[@felicitous48]

I like your video. I don't want to hear someone's life story when trying to do a task. Yours had the perfect amount of speaking. I recommend doing a fluid flush after it's all done depending on how bad the fluid looks or how old it is. Thanks!

[@kenzaske2278]

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed to see so that I can replace my power steering pump.

[@kevinmcewen1760]

I like your technique of sliding the nut back in the housing. I would have used a bolt and washers and a large socket to pull itback through... but your way is a whole lot easier. I'm stealing it. thanks for the video

[@thisguycalledalex]

Thanks for a chill video. Was just what I needed to see

[@theejerm]

Thanks for the video! Got the pump replaced 💪

[@AL-yo9xn]

Hey thanks for the vid just changed mine in the pouring rain 🌧

[@kicknsystm]

Awesome video. Very helpful, thank you.

[@AllThingsG7]

Best tutorial yet. Thanks man. How do i know that the pressure hose bolt hole, is aligned with the hose? Is there a mark or should i just mark it myself on the top?

[@matt9264]

Thank you

1:30 In the video it made me feel better about myself taking minutes to get that right hand clip off on air intake scoop. left one is super easy but the right ones good n stuck

[@uprailman]

I know that you did filming tricks to shorten the video so I ask. How long did it take you to complete the job and did you use a rebuilt pump?

[@tonyrose2692]

I did his follow along as an amateur garage mechanic. Took me about 3 hours with flushing the system as well. My skill level is self taught KZbin watching mechanic and I salvaged my pulley.

Hello, good video, where did you buy your pump?

[@heavenknowsimmiserablenow14]

Do you need to put the old brass collar that hold the banjo bolt on the new pump?

[@kapamikey]

PLEASE READ: This is a great video. BUT, it does not include torque specs for the installation of the top two hoses. NOTE: The Hose from the reservoir has a rubber O-Ring that sits nicely in the hole. This is the hose north of the pump when the pump is installed. This needs to be tightened, but not crazy. MY PROBLEM: The hose that goes to the power steering column only has two copper/metal rings. No rubber. This screw is bored out. This screw needs to be tightened a lot to prevent a leak. It is a 14mm and I used a torque wrench to torque it to about 20ftlb. It took me a while to figure this out as a first time doer. Wish he and other videos had the torque specs. Make sure bore lines up with hose.

[@thatgameingchanel]

Same problem with me! I cannot seem to figure out the damn leak

[@KemisPeter]

What cause sterling rack heard

[@john-danielmartin8753]

Is this OEM replacement or aftermarket one if so which brand

[@enockdelytbusinge5104]

What was the problem with that which you removed

[@DGKiko]

Great video, howd you end up filling the pump before putting the last hose on?

[@felicitous48]

I'm guessing he filled it where the top hose goes, with a funnel.

[@juggztheklown]

Size if the bolts would of been nice

[@bellpassinit]

How do you bleed the lines ?!

[@devfaded9351]

Took every bolt off just like you step by step and my pump is still stuck, pivoting on another bolt. Cannot see any bolt anywhere, was there a bolt that you removed that wasn’t in the video?

[@Bimmerfunf]

Great video. I have a question. Same exact layout in my ‘07 Impreza 2.5. I put a new pump in, put some ATF oil in there as needed. Hooked up the supply and return hose. The pump squeals and steering is hard, I tried bleeding and filling my reservoir and everything. Weeks later nothing changed, each turn is hard and it whines loud. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@bism66]

Could be air in the lines? I’ve read that if you have air trapped inside the power steering system, it can cause it to whine loud. I would assume it also makes the fluid pressure weaker, therefore causing your steering to feel harder. A possibility maybe?

[@enockdelytbusinge5104]

Are there any possibilities of replacing this new pump and it fails......

[@Bimmerfunf]

Yes. Mine new one won’t work. It sure what I did wrong I can’t figure it out. Put oil in new pump all hoses connected. Bled the system. It doesn’t work, whines and hard hard to turn. Idk

[@carlmendola5992]

THIS POWER STEERING PUMP VIDEO IS NOT LIKE MY 2013 OUTBACK LIMITED. MY PUMP AND ALTERNATOR ARE MOUNTED VERY DIFFERENTLY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND CLARIFY. THIS VIDEO WAS NO, NO, HELP TO AND OR FOR ME.

[@Liamshaw05]

in the bio it says it’s for a 2008 gotta read

[@offgridas]

🤡

[@daviddenis4326]

You need to find another video then....

[@doc9924]

So you followed it along without reading the year and figured out halfway through that it was not the same. What are you telling about

[@reckondragon2130]

I changed one myself and I'm trying to get a seal kit to fix the old pump. What did you do with the old pump?
