Power Steering Pump Reservoir

A suitable suction device must be used to remove power steering fluid from the reservoir while preventing fluid contamination. One should disconnect the power steering return hose after releasing the clamp. Position the vehicle on a hoist in NEUTRAL mode for easy servicing procedures. It is safest to access the power steering reservoir-to-pump supply hose clamp by working beneath the vehicle at the power steering pump and then release the clamp before disconnecting the supply hose. Proceed to remove the bracket's bolt from the power steering pressure line bucket to power steering reservoir connection before setting the bracket to the side. Reinstall both parts tightened to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). The three power steering reservoir nuts should be removed for reservoir removal before reinstallation requires tightening them to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.). The final step involves retaking the same measures for removing the power steering system and then refilling the power steering system.

Service and repairs of the 3.5L engine power steering reservoir start by using a proper suction system to extract the power steering fluid from the container. Break the clamp and remove the power steering return hose from the reservoir. The power steering reservoir bracket can be detached using three bolts which should be tightened to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) torque after reinstallation. Open the clamp surrounding the power steering supply hose before disconnecting that hose from the reservoir. The power steering reservoir installation requires new bracket and fluid tank as separate components. Separate the power steering reservoir together with its bracket as one consolidated unit. The installation process ends with a reverse order reinstallation followed by filling the power steering system.

The initial step for servicing the 3.5L engine power steering reservoir requires a suitable suction device to drain fluid from the reservoir. The responsible next step entails releasing the clamp and breaking the power steering return hose away from the reservoir. Use suitable tools to remove the three bolts which hold the power steering reservoir bracket in place then tighten all bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in) before installing everything back. First closely clamp the power steering pump supply hose and afterward separate the supply hose from the reservoir. Installation of a new power steering reservoir should be coupled with purchasing a brand-new reservoir mounting bracket. Complicate the power steering reservoir by detaching it together with its bracket. Perform the reverse procedures of removal to install the system and then complete by filling the power steering system.

Begin the power steering reservoir servicing and repair by putting the vehicle in NEUTRAL and hoisting it by suitable equipment. A suitable suction equipment should be used to extract power steering fluid from the reservoir. You should disconnect the power steering return hose by removing its clamp. The reservoir can be detached from its bracket by inserting a screwdriver next to their connection points. After depressuring the tab, you can slide the reservoir free from the bracket. A more convenient way to detach the hose clamp between the pump and reservoir is by working from beneath the vehicle at the pump location while unclipping the clamp first. Drillers should take away both the power steering reservoir and pump supply hose from the system. The installation process should be performed by undoing the removal steps and refilling the power steering system.
