700 ml. of oil to refill the sistem. This is the best video, most direct method from several 4 or 5 videos i watched available in you tube. Great tips an detailed explanations. I just did it yesterday all resulted perfect. Thanks a lot for taking the time for putting this excellent video, and share it. I started my comments with the system oil capacity, as is an important data none of the videos mentione it.
Appreciate this video and the time you taken to make it. You inspired me to do this job myself instead of taking the wife's truck to a shop. Great job 👍
Just did this yesterday and without this video I’d of been clueless on this pump! I will say if you’re gonna do this job then I’d go ahead and pull heatshields off on the beginning just for sight and cleanliness reasoning before draining pump. Lol. Mine was awd model so I think after watching your video it was slightly more difficult but still very doable if you use this video to guide you. Definitely have to take the back 15 mounting bolt off by using long extensions and coming from underneath/back of the vehicle. The transfer case/driveshaft hinders being able to reach in from either side. And when reinstalling new pump I found it easy to get the 16mm return line started before putting in any mounting bracket bolts. Then after I got it started I started the outside 15mm mounting bolt then I did the inside 15mm mounting bolt with the long extensions from underneath. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! May of took hours but it saves hundreds!!!
What a good video. I used this to do my mother in law's 2011 Chevy traverse awd, it worked. It will slip by the driveshaft and flex exhaust with very little movement. Not even to break the flex. I really didn't want to drop the subframe because it just got lined up about a month ago at most. Worked out good
@@frankhartford5194 thanks I have awd,but I don't want to unbolt the low pressure 10mm bolt where low pressure attaches,because my new one is sealed with new o ring,don't want to create a leak.Do I need to take that part off to get it back in,cuz I'm following this step by step.
Thanks for this excellent video, it give me the guts to do the job! It is full of details and I raise my thumb up because doing this job while holding the camera and show everything we need to see would have been a real challenge! I just finish the job on Acadia 2011 AWD and I only have to add one extra step to have enough space for the pump to go thru the hole: disconnect the drive shaft at the propeller. there was missing only few millimeters to go but no choice, have to disconnect it! There is also less space to work and it is harder to see from the front side on AWD. I'm not mecanics and it works for me so, anyone can do it! I need also replace the pressure hose too because the bolt was seize to the pipe so, I had to cut the pipe to be able to undo the bolt... I asked two garage to do this job and no one wanted to try your way and they all quote the long way so, doing this myself make me learn a lot and save many extra buks ;-) Thanks again.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I replaced the power steering pump on my 2014 AWD Traverse this weekend and, as others have noted, the transfer case and rear driveshaft do get in the way. However, following a tip on another video, once the pump is loose, there is enough room to position the pump so that you can get the pulley puller on with the pump still in the engine bay and pull the pulley off. With the pulley removed from the pump, the pulley slides right out. You have to Tetris the pump itself just right, but with it flipped around backwards, it will slide over the engine mount and you can remove it from the wheel well without removing the heat shields, exhaust, differential, or having to drop the cradle at all.
I used to think like this but we as Americans don't want to spend money. That's why we buy China. So, u get what u pay for, and when we collectively don't fight back together, we lose. We have crap built like this.
Thank you for posting such a detailed video! I will hopefully tackle this in a few weeks on my wife's Acadia. I'm nursing a few broken ribs, and I can't wait to tear into this project. The only tool I need is to hunt down that 3ft extension! Until this video, I didn't know it existed! Thanks again for sharing! Very well done!!!
Great video - thanks for taking the time to do this and help everyone else with the knowledge you gained! I did this job this weekend on my 2014 AWD Traverse and, as others have noted, the transfer case, exhaust, and driveshaft do complicate matters. However, following a tip from another video of the power steering pump replacement, with the pump loose from the engine, there is enough room to position the pump so that you can get the pulley remover tool (which you can rent from AutoZone) on the pump with it still in the engine bay and remove the pulley. With the pulley and the pump separated, the pulley slips right out through the wheel well. Then you have to flip the pump around and Tetris it just right, but the pump itself (without the pulley) will also slip up and over the engine mount and roll out of the engine bay through the wheel well without having to remove the heat shields, the exhaust, the differential, the driveshaft, or drop the engine cradle. Installation is the reverse of removal, rolling the new pump up and in over the engine mount through the wheel well. Then flip it around to face forward and slip the pulley back up and in front of the pump, install the pulley press tool, and press the pulley onto the pump in the engine bay. Once the pulley is pressed, installation proceeds as shown in the video. The whole thing probably would have been easier on a hoist, but I did it on the ground with jack-stands. Also, as noted in this video, there is that 10 mm bolt on the side of the engine, accessible from the top, that holds the hoses in place. Rather than removing it as noted in the video (and then trying to reinstall it), I just loosened it a few turns and it gave me enough freedom to move the hoses out of my way. Much easier to just tighten it back in place than to try to reinstall the bolt. If it hadn't been freezing (multiple breaks inside to be able to feel my fingers again) and started snowing, and I had known the right way to Tetris the pump out, I probably could have finished the job in an hour and a half, maybe 2. As it was, it took me about 4 hours over 2 days (mostly due to the finger warming breaks).
Thank you for this! Been sitting here for the last hour trying to rack my brain on how i was going to get the damn thing out of the engine bay. Heat shield removal for the win!!!!!
Working on this now. I am glad I watched it all the way through so I knew that taking the heat shields off first would make it easier to get out those supply and return lines on the pump.
This is great!! I watched another video and saw frame had to be dropped and I didn’t wanna do all that but this is the way to go, once thing I love about being a tech is finding easier ways
Thank you for the thorough video. I have a power steering pump I need to change, 2 garages have already said they won't do it because the subframe needs to be dropped, which is what I see in most videos. So it looks like I know what I will be doing on my next couple days off.
@@s33therfan so I followed what you showed in the video today.... I have a 2010 Acadia awd... only thing I had to do was pull the o2 sensor to get the pump out. Total job time was about 4 hours including chasing tools. Thanks again you saved me a ton of money
So far I've take off the pump going off this video. So much info and details, video looks easy doing it myself not so easy, dark and tight lol but overall APPRECIATE THIS!
Solid video bud. Just recently did one after watching this video. For me, I had the AWD - so transfer case and stuff was in the way. Book time was about 6hrs. R&I exhaust and transfer case. Had the pump pulled and new one installed in about 2hrs. Just dropped the exhaust, made it abit easier for me and pry'd on the AC lines out the way some - with some maneuvering it came out.
What are the tool names and sizes to do the job? Also, what tools and extra steps are needed for an 2011 GMC Acadia awd? Finally, great job, it’s a lot simpler than I thought because of your explanations.
Thanks buddy, this video really helped. Not a easy project at all. Especially when you have a transfer case in the way like mine. Still possible tho. 🤣
That's awesome! I have to do the power steering pump on my brother's 2011 Traverse today, so I'm gonna try, and see if I can do it on his fwd Traverse! I'll leave a message to let you know how I made out.
This method works great and saves time. For awd model just add one step. Remove 6 driveshaft bolts to and slide it out of the way to get the pump out. Works great.
Just did this job at the shop, great video. All the lifts were taken so the way I wanted to do it wasn’t even possible, did it on the ground and this video helped me out a lot !! Thanks for the video, will share this knowledge I learned from you🤝
was just quoted $1500 to replace this on my 2013 Acadia. i knew there had to be an easier way than dropping the engine cradle. Still nervous about taking on this job but after watching this video, im less nervous. i think ill be gathering some tools i dont have and seeing what i can do! hopefully it is not much different on the AWD version. thanks for the detailed video!!
Great video...I think it's the only one that can help answer my question. At 24:50 when you are installing the non-pressure elbow...does the o-ring go inside the pump or does the o-ring go around the end of the elbow and then insert into pump? I think I saw a green o-ring in there which tells me I should insert the o-ring into the pump and then secure the elbow. I don't know why I am so confused with this...I put the o-ring around the elbow end and it's leaking. I assume that's what I did wrong! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Yes , I believe the o ring just sits there on the pump , I really do not remember there being a groove. It should not be an issue with low pressure but it could be it needs a new o ring. Thanks for watching.
@@s33therfan thanks for the reply. I found out the O-ring supplied with the pump was the wrong size. More details for the benefit of anyone that might read this… it was barely the wrong size, but wrong nonetheless. It was slightly too big. The old pump had a beveled “entrance” which allowed that larger o right to squeeze into place. This replacement pump has no such bevel but a sharp, cornered entrance so a larger o ring would just get cut on that sharp edge. If I put the two rings together, it’s very hard tell the difference. To gauge proper fit, when you push it in it should “snap” into place and be flush with the pump.
I did not use a filter. If you decide to , place it on the return line ( rubber 3/8 hose ) somewhere between the rack and pump area. Thanks for watching.
It did not take long . Maybe an hour altogether. Seems like it takes longer to get all the tools together than the pump removal. But definitely not a big job. Thank you for watching.
@@s33therfan I managed to do it, I wish it would have taken about an it was a bit longer cause I didn’t have all the right tools lol. But your video helped me so much complete the project
Im working on one that leaks at the fill elbow where the 10mm is. The O ring is fine and brand new, the 10mm is tight. Is there anything else i should be looking out for?
Yeah I just did a 2014 Acadia and the pulley was seized on the pump when trying to remove it the pulling tool broke the end of the pump shaft so we had to get a new pulley
Hello, hey I have a 2012 Chevy Traverse LT trying to put the power steering pump on and I'm having the trouble that when I drop the subframe on the passenger side it's only going down two of the four in required to pull the power steering pump. Can you think of anything I could have done wrong?
You may be able to cautiously loosen the other 2 bolts on the other side . Loosen though not remove. Also make sure not lines or wires etc are being stressed. Thank you for watching.
well you know I have nothing but respect for 4 your mechanical expertise, your 6.0l vids have helps me several times, but i have to laugh my ass offf! a guy named joe zema a nuclear power plant mechanic from millstone1, explained to me you have to have patience to do that job ,,,,, and then he said to me ,the kind of patience it takes to fuck an ant,,, !!! and everyone in the break room broke out in laughter,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Looks like you gotta replace the. tie rod boot before it damages the rack n pinion. you could of drained the power steering fluid with a turkey baster Lol
thanks for sharing your knowledge, the work you do is admirable, this video helped me a lot, thanks again
Thank you for the amazing feedback , and thanks for watching.
700 ml. of oil to refill the sistem. This is the best video, most direct method from several 4 or 5 videos i watched available in you tube. Great tips an detailed explanations. I just did it yesterday all resulted perfect.
Thanks a lot for taking the time for putting this excellent video, and share it. I started my comments with the system oil capacity, as is an important data none of the videos mentione it.
Thank you for the great feedback.
As far as I am concerned this is the definitive video guide for this repair.
Thank you very much for the great feedback.
I agree. Every other video wants you to drop the engine frame.
Agreed! Heck with dropping the frame. What a crappy engine design.
You saved me $1,100!! Thank you so much. With your instructions I was able to replace the pump in about 3 hours. Thanks for being so helpful.
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to leave great feedback.
Thank you for a great video! You showed things that other people did not on their videos that were very helpful. Like removing the heat shields.
Appreciate this video and the time you taken to make it. You inspired me to do this job myself instead of taking the wife's truck to a shop. Great job 👍
Love this comment. It is great to be able to help someone else. It is equally satisfying fixing an issue yourself. Thank you for the great feedback.
Thanks for the video. I did this today on an AWD model. With your help, it was easy.
Thank you for the great feedback it is much appreciated.
That trick to pull the little elbow off was a life saver! Thanks. You're the only one to show that

Awesome video it help me me a lot to do it myself ,I have a question is dexton vI full synthetic trans oil is good for power steering?
Yes , the full synthetic works great. Thanks for the feedback.
This method works great and saves time. For awd model just add one step. Remove 6 driveshaft bolts to and slide it out of the way to get the pump out. Works great.
Why would you have to slide the driveshaft out the way?
i didnt even have to do that.

No issues. Thanks for the feedback.

only thing wasn't clear was the "bracket" you took off, couldn't see which bracket it was. is it necessary to take the bracket off?
Im working on one that leaks at the fill elbow where the 10mm is. The O ring is fine and brand new, the 10mm is tight. Is there anything else i should be looking out for?
Might be leaking at the hose and running down . Wish I could be more help.
Gracias...👍

Yeah I just did a 2014 Acadia and the pulley was seized on the pump when trying to remove it the pulling tool broke the end of the pump shaft so we had to get a new pulley
Is that same process for 2015 Acadia?
Yes. 2007-2017 will be the same . Thanks for watching.
lol "it pretty much just fell out" 6 hours after job started

Looks like you gotta replace the. tie rod boot before it damages the rack n pinion. you could of drained the power steering fluid with a turkey baster Lol
