REPAIR PROCEDURE E - POWER STEERING PUMP LEAKNOTE:
During an engine oil leak inspection, if you discover the power steering pump is leaking from the inlet pipe area, replace the inlet pipe, 0-ring, and hose clamp.
1. Drain the fluid from the power steering reservoir.
^ Refer to page 17-30 of the service manual, or
^ Online, enter keywords POWER FLUID, then select Power Steering Fluid Replacement from the list.
2. Squeeze the spring clamp, and slide it back on the pump inlet hose so it clears the reservoir spigot.
3. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
4. Place a drain pan under the power steering reservoir.
5. Remove the 10-mm bolt that attaches the inlet pipe to the power steering pump.
6. Lower the vehicle, then remove the pump inlet hose from the reservoir. Remove the pump inlet hose and inlet pipe from the vehicle.
*7. On your workbench, replace the inlet pipe, 0-ring, and hose clamp with new parts.
NOTE:
The pump inlet hose is shown attached to the power steering pump to show the proper position of the clamp. Position the clamp directly in front of the ridge on the inlet pipe before installation. It is easier to set the clamp before installation.*
