Best Subaru channel on youtube. there is no comparison.
Does anyone know if that kit fits the OBK XT (2,5 turbo) too? i've got pump 34430AG0419L - is it the same? if so, where can I buy this kit - not available :(
Mmm. Always love a good rebuild instead of replacing something that's still good!
Amen. Not enough folks doing repairs instead of replacement.
I agree. Plus it's a more "sustainable" (i.e. "green") solution than junking perfectly good parts because some people just want to be lazy...
😉👍
Just resealed the pump on my 1995 legacy wagon (pretty much same procedure) after watching this video. Been driving without PS for the past year or so. Thanks to Mr. Subaru, I don't have to strong arm it anymore 😂 great channel with thorough guide videos.
Putting the pump back in to the bracket was always a four letter word exercise. Great video. Love the Koken ratchets being used.
Agreed, Best Subaru channel on you tube. I am duplicating the repairs on my daughters Subaru to keep it on the road.
I just did this same repair last week to my $300 forester I picked up earlier this month. I also replaced the steering rack, and did a jdm ej203 conversion. My 2002 fozz is running great 👍now.
Wow sounds like what I did to my $200 02 Fozz! I also lifted it and put some all terrains on and I’m loving it! Cheers
Thanks for walking us through rebuilding the power steering pump! I've never felt comfortable doing this.
Power steering maintenance is so easy and so overlooked. I drain the reservoir and refill every time/every other time I change my oil. 🤷♂️ easy way to make sure the fluid stays fresh and the power steering system lasts as long as possible
Thank you so much!!!
I just rebuilt power steering on my 2009 subaru Outback for just $27.99
Did you order the same kit as the video ?
Great rebuild. I always replace that double seal ring around the pressure hose banjo fitting while I have it removed.
Your Snap-On tool rig setup is awesome Sir! My 05 Outback power steering pump is not leaking, but the pump is sweating a little. Maybe this kit will freshen the pump up and stop the sweating. I like the way you clean everything up when you have things apart. A very good practice! Thanks for the video Mr. Subaru.
You are terrific. I can do so much more as an old lady on my car with your help. You are a very good instructor.
These rebuilds are some of your best videos, love it. Someday if the pump on my '07 Outback starts leaking I'll know exactly what to do!
Well, 6 months later and my pump is leaking. :-D So I bought the reseal kit and followed the video. Problem is it still leaks. I had one o-ring left over, a size different than all those I removed. Could it be for the bolt holding the wire on the back cover? Is there an o-ring under that?
I ended up sourcing some bags of buna n's to rebuild the PS pump on my Legacy GT last year.... Now I have enough o-rings to do 30 more lol. Great video again, spread that knowledge!
Looks like an easy job thanks for sharing Mr S.
You make things look too easy - great job as always.
The sign of a true professional!
😉👍
Does anyone know where can I buy this Gates kit these days? I've searched the entire Internet but no luck :(
anyone?
Thank you. Well presented. Great camera work ( in focus, close proximity) and intelligent presentation; well done!
Beastmode Mr. Subaru. I will now rebuild my Showa pump and keep the cheap chinese replacement as backup.
If any of you do this build, and discover the pump DOES NOT WORK, go back in and inspect the lower piston/valve assembly below the rotor. It is possible to install that retaining pin in the wrong hole below, mis-clocking the valve. The result is that the pump will act as if it is dead inside. I refer to the long metal pin; make sure that the valve body it retains into is clocked correctly same as removal, prior to re-assembly. The video does NOT point out the clocking methodology for any of the internal componentry here Additionally the immediate outer collar surrounding the rotor (i.e. the pump face ring) often has dot marks on them showing which direction they should be reinstalled in.
In order to find all this out I had to take apart another pump and compare.
Thank you!!! This literally just happened to me
The right hole where the pin goes is slightly oval in the inner „ring“ and on the other „fixed“ backplate right? I couldn’t get the locating pin into the normal hole down there so I saw that the backplate that gets screwed on has a oval shaped hole so it has to be the same hole down in the pump? And do you know in what order the valve and spring goes in? I forgot to take a pic… first the valve and then the spring or first the spring and then the valve? I’m talking about the one under the big 10mm hex bolt
Just what I needed. Thank you!! 🍻
Very well-done and educational as always. I've been sitting on a power steering rebuild kit (for my 05' JDM Forester) for months now. This video is just the motivation I needed to start that repair. I suspect the steering rack on the Forester may alao be leaking but I'll cross that bridge if I ever get to it.
Cool! Also glad I clicked that bell at some point, MrSubaru hot and fresh!
Mine started whining really bad on my hawkeye sti and I’d rather do this than drop $600 on an oem one thank you so much for the videos 😘
you make the best video about Subaru thank you for all
Thanks for the video! I just bought a 2006 Legacy Wagon for my daughter. The pump is leaking and the replacement is $400. I am going to rebuild the pump instead.
Thank you for this, you are the man!
I just replaced the power steering in my Outback, the genuine pump was like 340 shipped. I may rebuild the old squealing one and sell it on eBay
I guess two years makes a big difference, but the aftermarket kits are 10-20 dollars, but they only have a few parts. The Subaru kit is like $50, and it has a lot more parts, but I don't know about that little straight seal that you said was green.
I sure wish I had watched this video before I installed a remanufactured pump from a national supplier. But I am ready to return under the hood and fix a couple things I now know I did wrong.
Hey kit is no longer available. Can you please update with a new kit
Great video! I replaced the o-ring and the noise went away but I still don’t have power steering.
I took the car around the block waiting for it to kick back in and nothing, any tips on what I should look to do next?
Once again, very helpful, useful vid. Thank You.
Just spoke with Gates tech dept and verified that since the pump for the 2007 is the same as for the 2008 Subaru part #34430AG03B, the reseal kit Gates #348827 (spec'd for the 2005-2007) is compatible with my 08.
Hope they update their site since all of the vendors just copy and paste the data Gates puts our there.
I may buy a cheap replacement pump to have on hand in the event the reseal goes south.
Did the kit Gates #348827 fit for Subaru part #34430AG03B ?
@@alexanderyu9904 Didn't need the whole kit. Just bought the one O-ring that sits on top around ~$2.50 easy replace/repair.
@@juicer52 Many thanks
Looks Beautiful!!
Thanks for the video!
Great rebuild video.
I had a 2008 legacy with the same problem. The garage wanted 300 bucks plus labor and taxes for a brand new pump.
Gates does not have the rebuilt as of Feb 2024. Rock Auto has three different brands
great stuff mate good video
I have a 2015 STI. Big $$ difference between OEM & aftermarket. You think aftermarket is safe enough or do you recommend OEM?
I just did this and and replaced the hoses. No fluid is in in there at all. If I just fill the reservoir and keep toppoing it up for the bleed procedure will I do damage to the pump while it runs dry at first?
MrS. A common complaint is that the reseal kits are unavailable for the 2008 OB.
Checked your Amazon link and it states that it doesn't fit 2008 Outback however, I just verified that by VIN, the entire pump replacement assembly for my 2008 from SOA is part #34430AG03B which is the same part number listed for the 2007. Same crossover part numbers when comparing Cardone website 2007 = 2008. Thoughts?

Very nice video!! Would you know a kit to rebuild a 2006 STi power steering pump? Cheers!
Just replaced the power steering pump on my 07outback w/ the 3.0. It appears I have air traped in the lower portion of the reservoir that won't bleed out. Any suggestions on how to remove the air would be much appreciated.
Unrelated question but I bent my torque converter because it wasn’t seated properly when I mated my transmission to my engine. 2005 outback 2.5 limited As far as I know the circle part isn’t bent too bad but i can’t put it back in. I have a spare transmission from an 2008 Impreza and I’m wondering if the torque converter is compatible.
I’m having trouble finding a reseal kit for my 2010 forester, where would you suggest I look?
Due to past experiences with Gates, I wouldn't use their kit.
Do they sell these rebuild kits
for the 2010 Forester? I can’t find any online.
Is this required when the pump is starting to whine but doesn't leak at all . ? Black fluid previous owner added regular power steering fluid. Now the rack is leaking all to hell
I rebuilt the pump on my 09 wrx and went from a leak pump to no power steering but no leaks
What kit did you buy, can you send a link? The kit used here looks the same but I’d rather get confirmation lol I have an 08 wrx
So at the dealer is it more common to sell rebuilds than replacement in these power steering pumps?
Dealers only replace. No rebuilds.
Does this work on a Legacy GT?
Awesome man
I can't find the Gates kit in stock. Is the Sunsong 8401477 Power Steering Pump Seal Kit on Amazon the correct kit? They a reputable brand? There's also Edelmann 9202 Power Steering Pump Seal Kit. They look like they contain the same parts as the Gates kit.
Will this work with the 09 outback?
Man it sure looks like all these Subarus are just like giant Legos looking at my 13 3.6 the airbox looks the same held a power steering pump almost looks the same so does the alternator in general everything is oriented in the same lol
Basically every EJ/EZ powered Subaru, 89-2012 had the same components and layout under the hood.
Any links for the suction hose itself? Local parts stores dont have any.
Thanks!
Cool video!!! Thanks
Excellent video, thank you very much, you learn a lot.
I appreciate if you help us to activate the subtitles in Spanish.
Is the thread on the bolt that secures the pulley a regular thread on all subarus? I have a 2012 Legacy 3.6R that I want to reseal the pump on but I just want to make sure the bolt is not reverse thread before I use my impact on it.
I just replace my last month because I can't find a rebuild kit
does a 2004 sti have the same type of PS pump? Thanks again
Great video!!.... Does this kit fit an 08 impreza? from what I have seen the pump only changes the position of its hoses
Will this kit rebuild a 08 Wrx power steering pump? Components looks exactly the same
Hi! Im gonna change my power steering pump from my impreza 2008 2.0, but i find so many pumps and I dont wanna make a mistake picking the wrong one, I find a SD-8 in the pump, but I can't find some information about it, only buying someone from Amazon that says it's compatible with the H4 2.0 NA it will works?
Sorry about my English, I appreciate the help guys
How do I know whether my pump just needs a rebuild or needs to be replaced? I do have a whine coming from my pump, but I don’t know if it’s due to air in the system or the pulley itself. I know it has a slight leak, because there is a very slow drop in the fluid over time. I would much rather rebuild, but I don’t wanna remove my pump only to find out that I need to order a new one. Thanks
What stopping someone from using this pump in a 3.0 H6 for the BP models?
Great video. Thank you.
I just did this and my car is gurgling and smoking. The fluid seems good in the reservoir and it seems to be doing everything I'm just concerned
Curious question, when is a rebuild kit not possible with a pump? Do these power steering pump "fail"?
Gran video. Saludos.
I can’t get the pump to go back into the bracket. Even tried some 4 letter words like you suggested in your video but otherwise you don’t give any details about how to get it back in. It’s almost like the bottom bolt has a metal insert that should be pushed back out just 1mm to make room but it doesn’t budge. Any ideas?
I got the pump back in the bracket!!! I did have to move the bushing back just a bit (1-2mm). I was able to get it to move by using a socket extension so that it would slide through the top hole (so thinner than the bolt). Once it was through the first hole I added an 11mm socket to the extension so that it sit on top of the bushing, but not go around it. Then I hit the top of the socket extension with a hammer really hard many times and eventually it moved just enough.
When I search for GM Dexron ATF, i find ACDelco Dexron VI. Is that ok? There's also Dexron III and others
Is there an o-ring underneath the 10mm hex nut on the side of the pump as well? Trying to remove it and that damn thing is on there tight
hello i love your videos, i have a wrx and my power steering is hard when i turn, do you know if i need to do this to the power steering pump.
So I called Subaru to buy a reseal kit for my 2008 EJ25 Liberty and gave them my VIN to check. They said Subaru don’t make a reseal kit for the pump on my car. I was a bit surprised especially when I head the pump price! I’m not sure how to check the availability of the seal kit for that pump. I was quoted 34430FG021 for the pump. Any ideas how I find a kit for that myself?
You did NOT show how to rebuild the main pump/vane assembly.
good video brother. Where can I get the kit for a hydraulic pump for a subaru legacy 2008 2.5 non turbo?
I have 2002 forester and my power steering pump has reservoir right on top the pump.
So is this same pump with different reservoir design?
Is idemitsu ATF HP the OEM fluid Subaru uses for these pumps?
Greetings from Ukraine! I have a car Subaru Outback 2005 3.0 liters. And sometimes the following errors appear: P0817, P0700, P0138, PP0171, P0174. What to do with it?
You won't find that exact bearing on Amazon. I looked. In fact you won't find it anywhere on the web. I contacted NTN and they said to find it from a supplier. With that said, I decided to go with a similar sealed bearing, 2 sided rubber seals from NTN. Will cross my fingers.
Did the bearing work? What’s the part number?
@@poptropicaman52 NTN Bearing 6203LLU for one I found on Amazon. It works though the NTN engineer said it was different and wouldn't work. The original one one was under a different part number and at the time was out of production. They should have it now though. The main difference I could see is that the original has a metal shield on one side.
I think you've said something about this before, but if I have an 04 wrx with a leaking PS Pump, my only option is a new one? No reseal kit available? Thanks.
Gates may have a kit, don't believe Subaru has a seal kit for that pump.
@@MrSubaru1387 Thank you 👍
Waiting for my kit to arrive. If you release the snap ring from the nose side first, would it allow you to drive the shaft down far enough that the splines on the "vane" side are pushed past far enough that the smooth part of the shaft (visible at 18:15) at the end allows the component with the vanes to fall out without resistance thereby reducing the chance of the vanes being dislodged? The video isn't that clear on which way the vanes go back if/when they fall out. Alternatively, can you cut a small washer out of plastic that would go over the shaft and keep the vanes in place while you jiggle it free from the shaft?
I know it's a bit late, but one side of each of the vanes have a gold color to them. The gold side is the outward facing side.
Thanks for the video. That should come in handy. BTW, I just picked up an '06 OB LL Bean Sedan with 155k miles that had blown the transmission cooler nipple out of the bottom of the radiator. I believe you said this was a fairly rare version. The seller sold it cheap assuming the transmission was toast. I bypassed the transmission cooler, added 6 quarts of Idemitsu HP, and cleared the codes (lots of them) from the TCU. The car seems to be shifting fine now, and has not thrown any more codes. Fingers crossed. Others have reported the same issue on the Outback forums, but it seems fairly rare. Should I go ahead and get a new Subaru radiator ($250), and just assume that this is a rare issue, and not a manufacturer defect? Or should I use an aftermarket radiator? Thanks.
I've been running an aftermarket rad in my 02 L.L.Bean 3.0 for about 8 years. It's starting to seep, but held up well.
@@MrSubaru1387 First off..... WOW. I rarely hear you say buy anything aftermarket (wink wink), but that's what I'll do. It has been a joy working with your videos to move my Subaru restoration/repair hobby along, while doing quality, lasting repairs. I'd jump in any of mine and drive across the country with little fear of breaking down despite most of them having over 200k miles. Thanks.
Hiiiii, thanks for a great video, was just wondering what are the torque specs on bolt for suction pipe, I saw the other video one day and guy was telling that o-ring there is very gentle and prone to breaking if it is tighten too hard
Did you ever figure it out?
Is this repair before or after the planned head gaskets and reseal job?
This is before the engine pull/reseal.
Robert what is the electrical connection on the back of the pump for is that to tell the ECU pump speed?
It's there as an idle kicker, much like when the A/C compressor cycles on, rpm increases to compensate for the drag on the engine.
@@MrSubaru1387 ahhh thanks
Very nice
Do you know if this seal kit would work on a pump from a Ej207 V8?
what setting do you have your mini impact gun on while tightening ?
I know the video is older but I have the same pump doing a rebuild and as stupid as it sounds I forgot to take a pic of the valve that sits behind the big 10mm hex bolt… does the spring go in first and then the valve and bolt or does the valve come first and then the spring and bolt? Would appreciate it much if somebody could help me!
Where did you find the seal kit?
@@machfive0unfortunately there is no seal kit from Subaru for the newer models. But mine was just o-rings and a shaft seal that I just bought from a local parts store
are there any kits for 2008-2009 outbacks?
Perhaps you can answer me this on my 2008 Forester - my check engine light comes on and cruise control light flashes when I've had the cruise control set for a while. Cruise control stops working till I reset by disconnecting and reconnecting the positive battery cable. Everything else seems fine otherwise. Why would that be?
Seems to be a common thing for early-late 2000s subarus. when the check engine light is on the cruise control wont work and the cruise light will flash. If you clear the codes itll work until the light comes back on.
Get the issue fixed, clear the code, cruise will work just fine.
Had this issue on my old 05 Impreza
And saw it on my family members 08 outback
Cruise is disabled anytime a check engine light comes on in 2005+ Subarus.
Scan the code. Repair the issue causing the check engine light. Reseting fixes nothing.
Great! where can I order the seals, O-rings, snapring? SUBARU Outback 3.0 - Year 2004. Thank you very much for your answer
Man this is giving me a headache. I recently installed a new power steering pump on my 04 Legacy. Turning is better initially, but the more sharp turns I make, the more the steering wheel gets stiffer. I popped the hood and realized there's a pool of steering fluid that's leaking from the top of the new steering pump. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could try next?
Take a look on upper clip, or inside o'ring, just a bolt hold it.
Can the pump be cleaned with WD40?
do you think this will do a 2009 pump? No OEM for the 2009:(
Should be the same pump. 👍🏻
I'm wondering the same thing. I checked Gates kit and says will not fit 2009, but yes to 2006. Also seen power steering pump for 06-09 Legacy / 08-09 Outback. I just bought a 09 Outback a couple weeks ago, seems like the pump has a little leak, so I was pretty excited for this video and now I'm just confused as I can't see them being different. Did a little searching on forums and saw comments about no rebuild kit available for 08-09. In the amount of time I wasted wondering if I can rebuild mine, I could have had it half way rebuilt...if it fits 🤷♂️
Is the kit still being sold?
I looked around on the internet for a while and couldn't find any kits that weren't out of stock on any websites.
Same here, no luck
