- In this video, I remove power steering pump, all three hoses and cooler tube - and then put it all back together with a rebuilt pump and new hoses.

You really do a good job explaining and filming. Everything was clear and the lighting was good too. Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you for these how to’s! I have a 91 GT Vert and I’m going to be doing this very soon. Keep them coming, Thanks!!
Jerry McIntyre - thanks!
Thanks for this video! It was very well done and informative, also thanks for the link to Altered Fox, I will definitely get my kit from them! 🦊
Awesome!
Very helpful video, I'm changing the power steering pump this weekend
Best of luck to you!
You made it look so easy and basic!! Good job I’m working on a 89 vert gt
Thanks man. Good luck on your 89!
Thanks for sharing this. Just replaced the pump in my Fox this past weekend.
Thanks! Too bad it doesn’t add any horsepower for all that work!
@@Foxedup right? Lol...just gotta convince myself that it was worth the effort haha
Great video. Very detailed. Best I could find
Thanks!
Coming along!
Love your videos man. Very detailed and informative. Especially for a newb like me that's never replaced and rack and pinion. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for all your hard work on these videos.
Thanks Mr. Dickus!
@@Foxedup I'm actually an MD so it's Dr. Dickus. Lol and you're quite welcome.
@@GreenToFeelBlue urologist?
@@Foxedup Proctologist actually! 😁
Excelente video continua haciéndolos eres el mejor
Gracias!
I can always appreciate someone that has a attention to detail and works clean,good job man!! reason i was watching your video, i am putting a new engine in my 91 and for some reason one of my cooler hoses was leaking and the cooler hoses for some other reason were criscrossed so i straightened them out,i figured its a simple cooling tube and it doesn't really matter where the hoses go and yours are straight so here i go into the garage to fix that!
This engine install has taken a looong time, going on my third week,reason is Ive been fixing all kinds of things and I'm reusing several things like valve covers, intakes and so forth and everything was disgusting so i'm doing sort of a mini restoration,thanks for the video!!
Thanks! Good luck with the project!
Great video!!!
Thanks!
Very detailed. Thanks
You bet!
Thanks
Just replaced my PS pump in my '88 Cougar(same car basically) thanks to this video... and about all the cuss words I know. Damn fittings in the rack were a bear to line up and thread in. But its done and seems good so far! Thanks!
Awesome! Glad to help!
Agreed, the top one was easy, the bottom one is a bear to get on! Lots of cussing going on!
great video! thanks!
Thanks!
Very well done how to.
Stupid Fast Truck - thanks!
Perfect, I think my hoses may be leaking, glad this popped in my suggested vids today lol
Good luck matching up new hoses. It can be tricky with an engine swap if you don’t know the year of the PS pump or the steering rack. If you pull the high pressure hose and give me the thread sizes, I can tell you the part number you need.
@@Foxedup should be an 85 Tbird motor so praying thst covers it 🙏
good vid
Thanks!
Just did this job recently...pressure line was leaking bad...got new nylon orings and reinstalled the lines. Leaking still...after watching your video I realized I never checked or installed any rubber orings. Im actually hoping they are missing at this point... 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Yeah hope that’s it. I can send you some if you have a hard time finding any.
Got to do my 90 gym vert thanks am doing it next week
Good luck!
Good vid
yellowfoxbodyguy - thanks! Learned everything I know from Camaro Man!!
@@Foxedup bahaha. He stopped by the house recently. Should be in next week's video.
Man i wish my pressure line would thread in that easy. Big hands and tight space don't mix. My car has been sitting for a week because of aggravation . Lol
Shawn Edwards - in the steering rack bushing video I take loose the rack and drop it down. Might give a little more room for those lines. Luckily I have stick fingers so I was able to get them, but it was challenging for sure!
Great video, thanks for making it.
I will do a steering pump replacement this weekend on my -91 convertible.
I have a question, where did you buy that pulley removal-kit? Is it inches or mm?
Thanks/ Oscar
Is this the recommended way to bleed the system? Did you have issues bleeding it? I've done everything you've done in the video, just have to add fluid and bleed my system. Read you're supposed to use a vacuum pump and monitor vacuum while slowly turning the wheel. Thanks, awesome video, couldn't have done it without the walkthrough!
I’ve seen it done without the vacuum. First just turning the pulley, then turn the wheel with the car lifted (engine off), then turn the wheel with the car on the ground (engine on).
hopefully i get a reply! loved the vid got a question.... my two top hoses, the fittings are both tight but the line itself in the fitting can spin around? are they just rotted out? like from the inside where the line I assume is pressed from factory that goes thru the fitting?
ollie j - the hoses are made to have movement. They will move more than what you would think. You only need to worry if there’s a leak.
@@Foxedup think I had some sweating. I cleaned it up couldn't find any leaks. I thought they might have spun but now I know. its almost 180 degree movement with the lines.. ive never seen that will keep my eye on it :) thanks
Now. Rewiring the whole under dash and removing some garbage aftermarket alarm
ollie j - quite a project! Good luck!
Gt vert
Does anyone know what the 2 metal hoses are behind the pressure lines?
In my case of an air condiitioned car, one of the 2 bolts you took off is actually a stud going through the pump and into the block (1990 GT). Do I have to take the entire front plate off (that the water pump mounts to) and remove the coolant overflow tank to allow the power steering pump enough room to get past the stud when removing?
Yeah if you have AC, you will probably need to unbolt the compressor and flip it up out of the way (but not disconnect the hoses) It will also be helpful to remove the battery, battery tray and coolant overflow tank. It’ll open that whole area up and save time in the long run. Then just remove the whole pump and bracket assembly from the car to to the pulley swap.
It’s possible to take the pulley off in the car and remove the pump from the bracket, but usually everything is so cruddy and gunked up, it’s usually best to just go ahead and remove and clean everything.
What size wrench did you use for the bolts to the rack?
Probably looking at an 11/16” or 16mm for most years for any of those steering hose fittings
Have you havd better luck with power steering fluid vs atf?
Builtby_Fletch - I’ve only used power steering fluid.
Great vid. Prime your bare metal bro!
I prime on occasion!
Should I do the pump replacement, or can I just flush out and add new fluid?
You can probably just flush if it isn’t making a bunch of noise.
Is it possible to get to those two rack fittings without removing the tie rod(s)? I was looking at mine tonight and it is TIGHT in there...think it can be accessed just taking the wheel off?
Yes, you should be able to replace those two lines without removing the inner tie rods. I only removed them because they needed to be replaced. If it’s really tight, you could pop loose the outer tie rod from the spindle and it will drop out of your way.
@@Foxedup thanks- I may replace tie rods anyway but didn't want to turn this into an even bigger project, you know how that goes.
Scott Lawson - ya ya yes. The projects always expand in scope.
did u need to install the pulley also? i need a power steering pump i’m looking at pick and pulls should i be looking for just the pump or the whole system
Yes I removed my old pulley and installed it on the new pump. I wouldn’t get a used pump - these things are likely worn out on higher mileage cars. Brand new (refurbished) they’re around $50 to $100 with a core charge and come with a pretty good warranty. And replace the hoses while you’re at it. If you have a foxbody, look at the kits on www.AlteredFox.com
@@Foxedup thank you for the response 🙏🙏 i appreciate it. i just bought an 87 hatch gt.
Had a question. The kit won’t fit if you have ac?
What year do you have?
88. on alteredfox kit #7 is the only kit that says with ac but only hoses included pump is not included
@@ELCAPITAIN562 I’ll add a pump option this weekend and will probably just ship from the supplier direct to you. I’ll let you know when the listing is up.
It's there now! alteredfox.com/products/power-steering-kit-for-82-to-89-foxbody-mustang-v8?variant=38054817104061
Appreciate it gonna try to tackle this job on my own thanks!
Excellent in every way for this novice. Please use real musicians for your interludes. I am a real musician, Brian Setzer's bassist, however jazz and symphony are my true loves.
Not a bad idea - I’ve thought about doing that!
I was sitting for to days also mostly cause of my jealous girl finally able to get almost done but still not better off with my mustang she don't act up
LOL
I'm having issues with the bolt that's threaded on both sides on the power steering pump its just screws out by hand?
Not 100% sure which you’re talking about.
I got it off, then noticed a puddle of coolant right behind my water pump on both sides.
@@galootsgarage4328 oh no! I hate when projects grow unexpectedly like that!
