2009 Ford E-250 Power Steering Reservoir Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on 2009 Ford E-250?

  A: The first step to service and repair the power steering reservoir requires placing the vehicle in NEUTRAL position on a hoist. Suck out power steering fluid through an appropriate device from the reservoir. The power steering reservoir needs lifting out of its bracket for vehicles with engine sizes 4.6L, 5.4L, and 6.8L. When working with vehicles having a 6.0L powertrain you must first eliminate the two cowl-mounted bolts which secure the reservoir bracket while tightening them to 14 Nm (124 lb-in) upon bracket replacement. The first step involves extraction of the upper radiator air deflector while you detach both bolts securing the reservoir bracket to the radiator support before re-tensioning them to 9 Nm (80 lb-in). You should detach the three bolts from the power steering reservoir before separating the bracket from the reservoir while tightening them to 11 Nm (97 lb-in). Compress the clamps to disconnect the power steering cooler-to-reservoir return hose as well as the power steering pump supply hose. The finish of power steering installation demands reservoir removal followed by following the uninstallation steps then refilling the power steering system. The installation process needs careful management of foreign materials since such particles may result in premature failure among power steering elements.
