• | The strut housing upper tie bar nuts (1)

• | The strut housing upper tie bar

2. Remove the pump drive belt(s). Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
3. Remove the lower bolt (3) from the mounting bracket.
4. Remove the following hoses (2) from the pump (1):

• | The power steering gear outlet hose

• | The power steering gear inlet hose

5. Remove the pump (1). On L36 and L67 engines, access the pump area from beneath the engine.

### Installation Procedure

1. Hand-start the power steering gear inlet hose connection to the pump (1).
2. Install the lower bolt (3).

Hand tighten the lower bolt (3).

Important: Provide a clearance of 2-5 mm (0.080-0.200 in) between the hose and the heater pipes. Contact may cause noise after the installation.

3. Connect the pump (1) with the pulley.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important: Route the hose outboard and to the following places:

• | Under the engine harness

• | Under the heater hoses

4. Connect the power steering gear outlet hose (2) to the pump.

Tighten

• | Tighten the power steering gear inlet hose (2) to pump, to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).

• | Tighten the hose clamp at the pump to 1.7 N·m (15 lb in).

• | Tighten the pump mounting bolts (3) to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).

5. Install the pump drive belt(s). Refer to Drive Belt Replacement in Engine Mechanical.
6. Install the following components, as needed:

• | The strut housing upper tie bar

• | The strut housing upper tie bar nuts (1)

Tighten
Tighten the nuts (1) to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

7. Fill the system.
8. Bleed the system. Refer to Power Steering System Bleeding .
9. Inspect the system for leaks.
