How-To remove steering pump

Post by Gnuserup » Mon Sep 13, 2010 4:30 pm

steering pump

needed:
open-end wrench 13,17 and 18
nuts 10 and 13
pliers
o-Ring 7 mm (dif. strentgh)
0,5 litre steering fluid

At first take as much steering fluid off as you can
Then take the 17 wrench and turn the tensioner away to take off the belt

Image

Image

Image

The steering pump pulley has three holes so that you can reach the screws
underneath them with a 13 nut.
Be very careful as the plastik pulley gets broken really fast..

Image

You canfind the screws located nearly at 6 / 12 / 8 o clock

Image

Image

At the other side of the upper screw you find underneath the hose another 13 screw which is really difficult to reach.

Image

Image

Image

Now remove the screw 10 which holds the low and high pressure hoses

Image

Image

And carefully try to take the pump out.

Image

Image

Pay careful attention to the high pressure hose as it is really expensive...
Remove the clamb from the low pressure hose with the pliers and pull it off


Image

high pressure hose

Image

remove the swivel nut with an 18 wrench

Image

Image

Warning - the o-ring seal is a special one which might not be sold singly but it´s getting broken easily

Image

Think about buying a set or single o-ring 7mm in different strentgh as the o-rings
at these sets may be to thin. Maybe ask your local hydraulic or pump dealer.

Image

Install o-ring on the hose first

Image

Install in reversed order.

I needed about half a litre of steering fluid which I filled in step by step with engine only
running from time to time to see how much I had to add.
If it is churning try to wait a little time that the air could get out . Or try to steer a little with running engine.


Image

Here my running system after succesful operation.

Anyone know what size threads those are on the highpressure hose connection?
