I just got done replacing the power steering pump in my daughter's 2006 Impala. Excellent video with super easy to follow instructions. I wish all auto repair videos were like this one. Well done! Thank you!
Hi sir I need help my steering wheel is stiff and make whine noises…on 2003 impala .. but I also notice I lose fluid after 1day .. what to do replace the pump or hose ? Or seal ? … when I open the resovior I notice bubble milky fluid and it’s low .. and it appears to be moving .. .. should I replace the pump or check for leaks ?
Mine isn’t making noise it’s just not circulating and this has happened to 3 pumps now. Also replaced the rack any ideas? Turns easier right than left for some reason. I flushed it and everything so I don’t get what I did wrong or what is wrong
Just curious why didn’t you remove the pressure lines before you unbolted and took it off. Feel like it would’ve been easier but idk. Thank you for this!
It bothers me that you worked on this the entire time with the oil fill cap just off letting anything and everything get in the engine. Not a major issue it just bothers me to death 😂
I didn't even notice that. I usually put it back. When I worked at a dealership they told me to take the cap off first and set it by the keys. That way you never forget to put it back on.

Of course! A bad bleed could ruin your install.
Thanks for the video. I followed your lead and had no issues.
Thank you sir for your time. This was very clear and informative

If you're losing fluid that fast check for leaks. The pressure hose likes to leak at a coupling not too far from where it goes into the pump.
That's for adding the bleeding procedure because people just assume that everyone knows
Of course!!

If it isn't circulating you likely have a leak in one of your hoses, most likely the pressure hose.

You can't get to the pressure line without taking the pump off first.
@@minutemaintenance7385 fair enough I was doing paperwork while listening thanks for the heads up
Great video it help alright 👍 👌
Which pump did you go with?
This was an AutoZone pump! Lifetime warranty on it.
@@minutemaintenance7385 wild question lol do you possibly have part #?
I do not. Sorry.
@@minutemaintenance7385 ahh okay okay , not sure if I want to take a chance on the cardone one or not
so funny how mechanic shops charge so much to replace little stuff like this🤣🤣
Right!
Never saw him put the o-ring on the high pressure line to the pump.
Sorry, must have missed recording that part.
