- I start the removal of the tendem power steering pump off of my CL55. This pump feeds the hydraulic suspension as well as the power steering. Since i have deleted the hydraulic suspension, i no longer need this leaky pump. I will replace this with a power steering only pump and remove all the useless hoses and dampers from the car. this process will be in parts. enjoy!

Just did this job last weekend, after previously watching this video. Bit of a tight squeeze but nothing too bad, having the right tools definitely helps.
Thank you BMAN, I finally got my pump out. When I make my video I will definitely reference these videos. That 8mm bolt on that bracket is a bugger! The most important tip INMO was getting a 22 flare wrench!!!!
I'm doing this on a 2002 S500 and this video was a great help
4:50 the trick is to get a skinny long 12mm wrench that has one of those circular automatic socket at the end of it. This was a pain
Do you have a part # or link to item via Amazon?
Hey so I got an 05 e55 I was drifting with it and all of a sudden steering went hard, opened the hood I saw sum leak by the Reservoir after that’s I replaced the rack and pinion, power steering pump. And the reservoir still the same steering is really tight and hard to move not sure what the problem is I would really appreciate if you could help me thanks
does it show any codes on the dash?
BMAN CARS nope I plugged in my computer and it doesn’t show any codes at all
@@qisarsadozai1471 check the high pressure fluid line that goes to the steering box itself also check your bushings all in the front end area where the upper and lower arms meet.
BMAN CARS Yeha I did check all that I replaced the Solenoid on the rack and still the same 🙁
@@qisarsadozai1471 change your O Ring they go bad and warp... And I think when that happens you get air in the resovoir and it causes high pressure in the resovoir which affects the O Ring seal...
If you do the change to coil over do you have to change the power sterring pump thanks
Couldn't you just plug the ports on the tandem part of the pump? Also, it's 2024, how's the car doing?
I have a 2001 cl55 amg could I still use a 2003-2006 e350 3500 s50p pump for this year
i bet you will lose more than 60 lbs!!! do you know where the abc control module is? i want to swap mine out.
dude i know you're trying to help but this is as good as a s
you need to actually do it
set the camera on the side and film yourself f---- king yourself there is nothing wrong with that lol
Looks like a nightmare
Hey great video. I have a couple questions. I went the same route but I kept my tandump pump by any chance would you know if I have to add power steering fluid just for the power pump or also add to the hydraulic side. I capped off the hydraulic lines. Idk if I should go the same way you did. Or stay the way I went. Reason why I’m asking is because just last night my car been whining . I added more fluid but the whining is still there. Idk if I have a misalignment or if my pulleys are bad. I haven’t went down there and checked.
main reason i did it this way was because my pump was a major source of leak, also there will be just extra work for the tandem pump by circulating the fluid. the whining could be due to some of the hoses not having enough fluid or it just needs to be driven a bit. check for leaks as well. Im happy with my setup because for about $150 i got the car running more efficiently and its lighter as well. just go with whatever works for you.
BMAN CARS thanks for the feed back. I haven’t really been driving since I heard the noise. I’m checking out some forums . It may be a bad pump now. Maybe I should drive it couple of times but damn it’s loud haha. But truth to be told I never heard the noise. When I looked at the reservoir it has really low fluid. Maybe that messed up the pump? Can I sent you a video and tell me what you think? If it’s a bad pump I’ll just order a s500 pump it looks exactly like the one you got. Thanks for responding
@@bmancars3237 to do this conversion you had to delete the hydraulic suspension?? im assuming youre on spring coilovers with no more hydraulics, right?
@@beinglatrelle7959 Yes. Check out my videos on those too!
The bracket you spoke about 6:46, does it get deleted when doing this change up??
I have a 2002 cl55 AMG all of the hydraulic fluid is leaking out I was driving the car next thing I heard a noise and fluid came back on the windshield is that the pump or is just a hose that broke
Could bring the pump...hopefully nothing major. Clean the area with some break parts cleaner and start the engine with the ac full blast and see if you can spot a leak. Let it get to temperature then look around.
hard to say...i would guess hose, but really clean the areas with brake parts cleaner then start the car and see if you can spot any leaks after a few mins.
Hey man great video very helpful can u tell me where that bottom hose from under the abc resoivoir connects
I bought a cls 500 pump it looks the same I hope it works
I'm fixing it by getting rid of it.
Hey Can you lost the part you got
I made a part 2 of this video. Check that out too. It explains where I got the part. Its the e500 or e350 powersteering pump from 2004 models. I got it from ebay. Just make sure to get the one with the triangle shaped bracket already installed. Very important.
Midas charging 900 for the pump and 900 for labor. This seems very expensive....I'm not experienced enough to try myself. Time to get rid of car.
That's called a banjo bolt
I got 2002 cl500i did mine for about $100
What part did you use
