I am glad the background music was to your liking. lol. If you ever get a chance to see them live they are awesome! I saw them with Matt Redmon and Hillsong back in the day..
The original pump (I'm pretty sure it's original) on my 2003 v6 mustang has been whining. Yesterday, I replaced the pump with a re-manufactured one and I put in Valvoline Maxlife ATF fluid. It is whining at least 2x louder than it was before! Should I flush and put Mercon V in there, or does that mean the pump I received is bad? (I don't know what kind of fluid was in there before I flushed, sorry. It was a brown color).
It might be bad, but you really need to use the Mercon V in these pumps. Its a little more expensive but its what the pump needs. Anyway. Best of luck with it.
Same happened to me and I used Mercon V. Although people on tik tok have been telling me that remanufactured power steering pumps for old fords have a 50% chance of not working right out the box. Several people have had to return several pumps before getting one that didn’t scream. A brand new pump is probably the way to go here
2004 mustang with 3.9L. I installed a remanufactured power steering pump from autozone, and the new pump is whining. I bleed the pump, and made sure there were no bubbles. Can’t figure out why it is whining.
IDK for sure but maybe the new pump was bad, Make sure you use the correct fluid for your Stang. It matters.It really shouldnt still be whining so somethings wrong. Sorry it is giving you all this trouble. Best of luck with it.
I dont remeber how exactly much it used. It was less than I thought though. Just add till it is at the right level. Thanks for watching the video and best of luck with it.
Im so glad i watched your video before I tried to replace the power steering pump. I probably would have broke the pulley. Luckily, AutoZone had the puller in stock. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate it.
Nobody is showing how to remove the other side of the high pressure hose. The side connected to the pump is not a big deal. There is no space to do anything.
If I remember right it is going to use about a quart maybe a little more if you are flushing an existing pump. Thanks for watching. Best of luck with it.
Reinstalling the pulley is a NIGHTMARE the bolts in these standard installation kits do not fit the thread pitch of the bolt threads within the pump. It is a complete disaster I have no idea how I'm gonna get this pos pulley on. I already destroyed one pulley wheel and rendered my car completely inoperable.
First thanks at lots for the video, after I replaced the pump still making that noise could you please tell me what else can be the problem or if I did something wrong. Thank you.
I have a question about the pulley installation. Am I doing something wrong? I've been through two pulley kits I've bought which have had the ends of their bolts stripped trying to put the pulley back on. Once for the original pump and once for a new pump I didn't even intend to get. I'm worried I may never get my pulley back on at this rate, just damaging kits and pulleys. You make it look so easy.
When you are putting the pulley back on.: 1 First put the pulley on the end of the shaft then take the long bolt that threads into the pumps shaft. ( dont put it in the shaft yet ) 2 Thread the nut collar onto the bolt.flat side facing the pulley and thread it like halfway up the bolt. 3 Then turn the bolt all the way into the shafts threaded hole. The collar should not be touching the pulley yet. Make sure the bolt is all the way in. 4 After that turn the nut collar towards the pulley until it touches it. 5 Take a box wrench that fits the collar nut and put it down the bolt and onto the collar nut 6 Take another wrench or socket and put it on the long bolt. 7 You are then going to hold the bolt still ( closest to the radiator ) so it doesn't turn , and tighten the collar nut until the pulley is all the way onto the shaft. ( that is going to basically push and slide the pulley onto the shaft a little at a time ). It will go easy at first and then get tougher towards the end. You will get it on !!!! Thanks for watching & Best of luck with it.
Great video but putting that pully back on ain’t no joke.I almost gave up I wish I had this pully removal what is this one called the new ones are not as good they break a lot
Hi, I have a question regarding pulley installation, what size of box wrench are you using to hold the collar nut and what size of wrench or socket are you using to put it on the long bolt close to the radiator? Looking forward to your response, thank you.
Its a simple task, thanks for the video, i need my power pump changed thinking on doing it this comming weekend since its been roudy just keep adding fluid,
So I rented the same tool that is in the video, and it ripped off part of my pulley, I had it flushed with the pulley and it broke off that little rib that the twin collars latch onto, is there a different way to remove the pulley? Or am I looking at cutting the pulley off and getting a new one?
I have had that happen before. One time I just broke the rest of the composite pulley off and used a pulley remover, and another time I just cut the collar. If you cut it try not to damage the shaft too bad.Anyway. Best of luck with it.
@@VonMisaki Great. I just did the same thing on a jeep I was working on. The Jeep was old and I figured the pump had seen better days anyway. Glad you got it fixed!
@@lastmoto777 I just hope that I have no more leaks now, I need to get some sealer to seal up a bolt I snapped in the block. But so far so good, glad my mistake could help someone else
@@VonMisaki Yeah. That stinks. On the upside there are alot of bolts on that water pump and it would probably seal using a gasket and silicone sealer made for the cooling system. If you cold get that old bolt out that would be the best solution though.Hey man best of luck with it.
Very good job explaining everything.
Thank you very much.
i came here for the 6 seconds of casting crowns lol

@@lastmoto777 Ok, thanks. I ordered a few quarts of Motorcraft brand Mercon V from O'Reilly!

Thank you man! I found this video useful for me
Thanks for your comment. I am glad the video was helpful.
Awesome mine doesn't have the back end of the pump where u pour in the fluid it's just the main assembly...
.Thanks for watching and best of luck with it.
I was going to do this at work but since everything is closed Imma make this my weekend project
Big thanks for doing and posting this video. Replaced mine today and would not have been able to do it without your help. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, Thanks and I am glad the video was helpful.
Is there an update on if the power steering pump started to whine again after a while at all? @lastmoto777
@Working Man I already sold the car and I pretty much fixed it after the 3rd pump thank you tho!
Excellent video man, I got an ‘02 v6 Mustang and was wondering how the heck to get the power steering pulley off.
What size wrench is needed for the high pressure line?
18 inch
Thank you for that. It helped a lot.
Great. I am glad the video was helpful.

Working Man
The pump was replaced couple of times, and it made little difference.
did this only need 1 quart of mercon?
I dont remeber how exactly much it used. It was less than I thought though. Just add till it is at the right level. Thanks for watching the video and best of luck with it.
Why does mine keeps caving in the power steering shaft??? It's the same tool and same car!
They gave me a white o ring seal and small black o ring seal, what is the small one for?
I believe it goes on the high presure line inside that bolt on collar. to seal the connection. Best of luck with it.
@@lastmoto777 so 2 o ring seals go on it?
Im so glad i watched your video before I tried to replace the power steering pump. I probably would have broke the pulley. Luckily, AutoZone had the puller in stock. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I appreciate it.
You are welcome! Thanks for the kind words and I am glad the video was helpful.
Nobody is showing how to remove the other side of the high pressure hose. The side connected to the pump is not a big deal. There is no space to do anything.
you have to go in and get a special wrench for the other end if you plan to change the entire pressure line
How much power steering fluid will it take after you get it installed?
If I remember right it is going to use about a quart maybe a little more if you are flushing an existing pump. Thanks for watching. Best of luck with it.

Thanks Clint. I am glad the video was helpful.

Thank you.
it's the pump it's normal
Thx for this!
What size is the nut on the high pressure line?
@Working Man Bless your heart.
@Working Man Why did you delete your original comment where you called me stupid? Stop being so petty.
@@Jota-rc8yq did you ever figure it out?

Did you ever get the pulley wheel back on? I am in this exact same position and my car is inoperable.
Great video but putting that pully back on ain’t no joke.I almost gave up I wish I had this pully removal what is this one called the new ones are not as good they break a lot
this guy knows how to rock
Thanks good job
Thank you . I am glad the video was helpful !
Thanks for the video doing mine this weekend needed some tips
No problem I am glad the video was helpful. 👍Best of luck with it.

Where do you get the bolt when you put it back on? Ours is damaged
The bolt I used was in the kit I rented from Autozone. Best of luck with it.
I hope that orlieys gives me a non garbage pump 😂 would suck to put it on and have it make noise still
Its a simple task, thanks for the video, i need my power pump changed thinking on doing it this comming weekend since its been roudy just keep adding fluid,
what size wrenches did you use I'm going to visit my son in the military and want to know what size wrenches to take
Glad i watched. Need tool for pulley. Thx

You're welcome. Glad the video was helpful.
How do you remove the high pressure steering pump hose? Holy cow!!
Just an open end wrench should get it done. Good luck with it.
You need to break it loose with the pump still mounted.step 1..loosen p.s. pressure hose with preferably a line wrench..then remove the 3 bolts
timothy park
Thanks
How many quarts of Mercon does it need?
My 04 used just about a quart even. The pump takes mercon V. Check with your manual before purchasing. Best of luck with it.
lastmoto777 thanks. I looked at the manual but no specification as to the exact amount. Looked up the Hayne’s manual as well and nothing.
Great Video,,,,Thanks
Will it work on a 98?
If it has a 3.8 or 3.9 it will work. Best of luck with it.
thank you! excellent video.
Awesome, very helpful!!
Thanks. Glad the video was helpful.
The flywheel is inside the transmission, it's just called a pully
lol. yeah. I must have been tired when I made that video.;o)
