After watching this. I'm pushing my truck off into the lake. And buying a Toyota.
You'll never find any used parts or trucks in junkyards lol
Yea Chevy ain’t for the weak 😕🤷🏼♂️
Bro swear makes you not evan want to when you see the work you have to do
Good video …..just went through all of the pain with one
If you use a pry bar against the engine and frame you can pry engine up enough to get power steering pump right out through top easy
You just saved me so much time. After a 30 min fight and a 1hr break i read your comment and 3min later its out
Great video. I may tackle this with a little assistance.
Excellent video series. I watched all of the videos. Thanks for making these videos. Greatly appreciated.
Good video. You can add a power steering pump filter, I think Doorman makes one, that slips in between one of the hoses. You cut the hose, and then add the filter and then hose clamps. Not a bad idea, and around $10. I think the filter is really a magentized screen to catch any metal shavings that occur in the fluid itself.
I have a 96 chev and a 93 ford truck, both have had pump rebuilds over the past few years, both worked great for awhile after installing rebuilts and both the assist gradually degraded at low idle to where they are like armstrong - I just accept it now and lean into it when I need to cause swapping out pumps gets old after awhile. The pumps work fine when you add a bit of rpm so it is rare that you get no assist at all.
You ever replace the steering box or stabilizer shock on the steering linkage for 4x4 models. I have had that issue and it was the stabilizer shock that was causing the hard steering at idle. Disconnect the stabilizer shock and see if you have easy steering at idle, if not then your steering box is the issue. The steering box also controls how much assist you get at idle via a pressure control valve that's built. Most steering boxes have an adjustment nut to vary the pressure so you don't have loose or excessive power steering at highway speeds. In your case I don't believe your having a pump issue but either your steering box, or stabilizer shock may be your issue, you should have full assist at idle (Ford or Chevy), their design is almost the same internally. Those pumps make at least 100-200 psi pressure at idle. I hope this information will help you solve your hard steering at idle.

It can be the hoses too.
They degade and can cause problems
Love your video and commenting lol.
God damn it...
I found my way here because the driver side exhaust manifold needs replaced on our 95 yukon.
I've done several gm power steering pumps but usually they're nice enough to put a couple holes in the pulley for you!
Yay.
May as well do the pump since I'm there, it is a little sqeauly anyway
If you have the puller its not to bad to do.
/K&K
That pump assembly comes straight up and no problem. Just un fasten the pressure line from the steering gear with an 18mm crows foot. No need to destroy anything.
That's what is great about automotive is there is many ways to do one job. Crows feet are great but you still run the risk of stripping the fitting which is why I don't use them on high pressure fittings. Replacing a hose is much cheaper then a steering box.
/K&K
It's also a stupid waste of time/money and not necessary to remove the pump @@KNKRNR
Thanks for sharing this, I'm debating on whether I'm gonna tackle that. lol
If you have the right tools for the job its as you see in the video. Plan on two days if its your first time doing a pump. Thanks for watching!
/K&K
I would just need a Puller, i change 1 of the lines that was leaking last fall. But it's tough turning an makes noise like its not getting fluid. That wheel isn't loose, oh and The Wife isn't happy. lol Thanks for the Tips, I'll need it. lol
@@apeacefulgrower Yup you can buy or rent the puller and installer tool for the pulley for this repair. After the pulley is off its just basic hand tools after that. You might want to get a set of flare wrenches so you don't strip the HP power steering hose if you just replaced it.
Generally if the pump was ran low on fluid you tend to burn up the vains in the pump. Its possible to still hear the pump sound like it pumping but the pressure isn't behind it to push through the steering box.
Yeah wife's tend to not like armstrong power steering. lol You run into issues you can reach me on this comment I'm happy to help.
/K&K
Thanks again I appreciate that.
Good video. Informative, thank you. I have one question regarding a comment made in the video. Does any repair go right??? Logan Lake BC, Canada
Rarely do we find a repair without some problem to sort through.
/K&K
I am not a mechanic never worked on cars really have a tiny bit of knowledge I am going I bought a suburban and yeah let's do this i guess
I changed mine out snd this refurbished one is still loud as hell. I have to put some fluid in it from time go time.
Timd tonlook at hoses.
How did the bleed procedure go? If that pump is loud that means that pump has air in it and will burn up from pump cavitation. You might have to vacuum bleed it and check for leaks because you shouldn't have to add fluid from time to time.
/K&K
@6:19 thought I just sold something on eBay thanks for getting me excited
That's why I drive a 1981 chevy k10. These trucks went to hell after 1986. I have been a mechanic 50 years. My advice is next time buy a classic pre 1987.
To me after 1996 GM went the wrong direction it only gets worse the new it gets.
/K&K
3:45 is that how that works?
Power steering pumps pulley should have a little play
any idea what pitch the 3 bolts are that attach the pump to the aluminum bracket. lost mine
Not sure, do you have a junk yard near you? When we lose or break bolts we go to a pull and save junk yard and find the OEM bolts when ever possible.
/K&K
How do you get a spoke pully off
Hey great video! I plan on doing this just because if I’m not accelerating like on a slow turn the truck turns off so I’m think it has something to with the power steering but the truck turns easily. If you can help with advice that would great thanks.
What year and model of truck so you own. Some of these trucks used a high pressure switch in the power steering system to raise the idle under load to prevent stalling. If this switch went out you could stall under load. It would be extremely rare that the power steering pump would cause a stall under load.
/K&K
@@KNKRNR it’s a 1993 Chevy Silverado1500 5.7 and I have changed all the simple go to parts.
You didn’t show the studs in the back side being removed. I had more then 3 bolts holding it.
What year are you working?
/K&K
You could just buy a new pulley & install with a nut & bolt that fits.
You could do that but the cost of a new pulley would be more then just buying the $20.00 Dollar tool at Harbor Freight. GM designed the pulley to be removable and reusable, but did make it a pain in the rear to change the power steering pump when compared to Pre-1986 V-belt 350's.
/K&K
I have a 94 c1500 5.7 350. Does it have a short water pump or a long one? Im not sure about it
Mostly likely you have the long pump, there were the most common used from 1988-1995 on TBI (LO5) Engines Serp Belt systems, short pumps were used on GM cars like the Corvette and LT1's V8.
/K&K
I pulled the pump out of my 94 an had to leave the pulley on. Someone used a hammer to put the pulley on the last time an messed up the part where you would put the puller. So it can be done.
Just did a 1994 Chevy and there was a bolt behind the pump that can't be removed till the pump is removed. If your able to pull the pump whole that means its been replaced and the installer left this bolt out. Your right it can be done if this bolt has been removed.
/K&K
Was driving and my steering went completely out, can no longer turn my wheels, is that a indication the power steering pump went out?
If the pump is full of fluid but still doesn't turn most likely you lost the pump. Have an assistant turn the steering wheel while your feeling for pressure from the hi pressure line. If you feel nothing at the hi pressure hose while they are turning the steering wheel then the pump is not working.
/K&K
@@KNKRNR thank you I went to remove the power steering pump and the wheel that is attached to it pulled completely out with a piece of metal attached to it that's supposed to be connected to the actual pump. Like it snapped off completely
You need to show your tools and put extra lighting underneath so you can see the video is really dark you can't see anything
I plan on redoing this video in the future.
/K&K
this doesn’t work on a 94 blazer?
What engine do you have?
/K&K
Can you give me a list of tools needed for this job? I have to replace my pump, but I don't have a huge socket set. I can only afford to buy single pieces for now.
The tool you need above all for this job is the GM Power Steering Pulley Remover and installation tool. Go to Harbor Freight with a 25% coupon and get item number Item #63068.($16.00. Bucks). You will need a simple hack saw, basic set of deep metric sockets, normal sockets, metric wrenches (8MM to 16MM) to remove and install new pump from the main brackets. To replace main high pressure line, hack saw off the hose ends but leave 1/4 inch of tubing and use a deep socket to remove old fittings from each side (Pump & Steering Box). You can install a new high pressure line with with normal set of hand wrenches as opposed to buying a set of flare wrenches for this one repair. I would suggest to get a set of good flare wrenches anyway. Power Steering and brakes lines can be very difficult to remove even with the right tools! This list of tools above should get you up and running in no time flat. If you have any other questions just leave a comment, I respond with 12- 24hr)

@@KNKRNR why is the part number on this comment for the pulley removal kit different than the one listed in the video?
@@KNKRNR My 94 k2500 has a leak at the line where it connects to the bottom area of the pump that just needs tightening i believe. Hard to get to but what size wrench do i need? I don't wanto remove the pump but could I use a crows foot or a flex head flare wrench? Thanks.
@@vangorian8776 because they're both the same part. If you look at HF's webpage, the same part is listed with both numbers. Most tools or mechanical parts have more than one part number.
It will not come out with pressure hose attached on my 1992 4x4 a sawsall and cyt it off close to res
Fluid can only flow from the low pressure return hose when you cycle the steering wheel from left to right. The High Pressure line becomes the suction line when you cycle the steering wheel from left to right via the steering box. If fluid isn't flowing as it should you might have a restriction in the system as the steering box has a one way High Pressure check valve built in so fluid can only flow one way. You need to diagnose where fluid isn't flowing freely when you cycle the steering wheel from from left to right lock to lock.

Just skipped through the most important part on how to remove the pulley
He literally showed the whole thing, but OK.
So why didnt you just pull that alternator outta with it and lay it too the side.
We did that to the weight off the bracket that holds the power steering pump on.
/K&K
This is the dumbest power steering pump I have ever removed. I just need like an inch to the right so. I can swing it out
This job is the most hated repair on this truck.
/K&K
Oh wish I knew and to follow up I pulled the threads out of the shaft with less than 1/8” to go. I’ve never been so disappointed before
Breach birth
Coming out of the bottom
This video should be named. The hard way to change a power steering pump do everything wrong and make it difficult 🙄
Your right fixing the previous installers mistakes makes this a difficult repair. We had cross threaded high pressure fitting which is why I cut them and replaced with new All we can do is make it right like we did in this video!
/K&K
Pull the hole thing out with the bracket an hoses on. It is much easier to get the pulley off and disassemble it once it is on the bench.
You Gen Z kids are a trip. There are five bolts which hold the bracket to the engine, and one of those bolts is directly behind the power steering pump. Therefore, you need to pull the pulley, so you can pull the pump, so you can pull the bracket.
LOL NO. Where are y'all idiots coming up with this? You can't remove the whole bracket because it's bolted onto the engine and the power steering reservoir is in front of those bolts. You gotta remove the power steering in order to remove the bracket.
If you dropped the pump and broke hoses that's on you it doesn't make the bill go up for the customer.
Your right but in this case the HP line was cross threaded on both sides and was found to be leaking.
/K&K
No need to cut any hoses, you did this all wrong
In automotive repair there are many ways of doing the same job most of the time. As shown in the video we did fix the power steering system properly and worked as designed after the repair. Nothing was done wrong and those hoses had 171k so replacing them was required anyways.

And cost $200 plus core charge
Wow that's too expensive for pump unless you have a hydro boost brake setup. Check out RockAuto.com you can get an AC Delco Power Steering Pump With Core Charge for $73 Dollars plus shipping. Only grip I have with Rock Auto is know the part you need very well because returning the wrong part can be a real pain in the rear.

did mine today on a 93 suburban it was a bitch
GM sure didn't make easy on us by any means. If you remember the square body GM trucks they always had a tendency to slip the belt and make lots of noise. GM went well overboard on the Pump design to stop belt slip noise. It works but yeah its a pain to do when ever it dies.
/K&K
well i must say i went at it all wrong im use to to pulling the pump then the pully .here pully goes first on this truck they hid all the bolts behind the dam thing ...hell i was removing bolts that never needed to be touched thats why i came here to warn our youtube friends and give a heads up and tell people do not use POWERBUILT KIT 13 MODEL NUMBER 648644 its suppose to be a pully puller only not an install tool but i rented it from advance auto DO NOT GET THIS THING its a piece of shit. get the one that he is using in this video ...i told the guy at advance to put it on the shelf and NEVER rent it out again 2 hours wasted trying to get it to work plus another 2 hours trying to figure out how the pump came out like a said b4 this job was a BITCH but its in and running..by the way if anybody do this job put new exaust manifold gaskets in while you got it tore down or anything you need to do while the pump is out this is a job you only want to do once trust me
Well I'm fucked .
Why?
/K&K
Lol cost they customer more for repairs what kind shop you running it your fault if you break something man
This was a pro bono repair for a friend who was disabled. We covered the labor but he covered the parts. I didn't want to cost him in parts anymore then was needed to complete the repair. As a rule of thumb If we break something that's out fault we always cover the costs 100%. Too many shops in my area send those kind of repairs out the door everyday. Thanks for watching.
/K&K
Easier to pull the alternator off and then pull the entire aluminum bracket with power steering pump attached still. Then pull pump off bracket install new pump and then reinstall the bracket
If that worked for you that's great, but I had a bolt behind the power steering pump that made removing the bracket not possible!
/K&K
Yeah, sure.
LOL NO. Bracket can't be removed without attaching the power steering pump. One of the bolts holding the bracket on is directly behind the power steering reservoir.
Impossible to pull the bracket without pulling the pump out of it first, seeing as the bracket is bolted to the engine and one of those bolts is directly behind the pump. But go on with your make-believe credentials, Zach.
