I have a 1998 ford ranger 2.5 2-wheel drive and had to put a new power steering pump in it and i am playing hell getting the pully on but by watching your video i see i did not put any anti cease on the pully and shaft of the pump going to take it back off and try that and see how it goes so thanks for the video.
You point to the line coming from bottom of resevoir but by slight of editing hand you pull the pressure line below to drain. I am having the hardest time pulling the p.line to drain! Two videos now it just popped right off? I thought perhaps loosen the nut but its impossible to get to🙄 Mine is 99 4.0 and looks like identical setup. Pulling hair out now!
You're going to have to cut a slice down the side of it if it's that hardened and then replace it, don't take any chances. You don't want to do the same job twice. You should look into replacing other hoses too
@@GibsonGarage thank you fir the replies. Unfortunately I jumped the gun last night. I only had enough $ for new pump, fluid and pulley tool rental. Say a prayer for me man? This morning my approach will be to get that pressure line off and flush new fluid I put in last night. Question: what would be an indication to look for if I collapsed new pump last night?🙏
@@GibsonGarage thanks so much for the reply I kept finding different answers and didn't want to buy a new one without knowing for sure. I got a new power steering pump ordered and hopefully gonna be able to throw it on mine. My new belt almost melted didn't notice it was the power steering pump until I saw a pile of melted rubber coming off the belt on to the pulley. Doesn't look like I ruined the new belt so crossing my fingers thats the case. I've been driving without power steering in this ranger for months now wish there was a was to just throw out the power steering all together.
Informative and funny. Great video, man. You should moonlight as a comedian 😂

The hand clap for no mess 😂😂
The Ford Ranger whinny PS pump is a feature, not a bug.
Thanks great video
They suggest heating it in hot water to soften the “O” ring
Do you need to air out the lines before causing damage ?
Yessss! It does!! 11:41
It looks similar to my 2000 ranger.

Mines a 98 ranger 3.0 is it same set up ?
I honestly I have no idea😬
Where did you place the smaller black O ring?
I don't remember it might not have been needed sometimes those kits will include O-rings and attachments for multiple vehicles
@@GibsonGarage thanks
Welcome
The small o ring goes on the power steering pressure line
