Removal
1. Firmly set the parking brake, then jack up the front of the vehicle and support it on stands.
2. Loosen the bolts securing the drive belt pulley to the steering pump, then loosen the belt and remove it from the pulley. Now unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the pulley from the pump, trying to remember its installation position.
3. Use special clamps or clamps to pinch the feed and supply hoses near the steering pump reservoir to minimize hydraulic fluid loss.

4. Loosen the mounting screw and remove the feed tube mounting clamp from the support bracket (if such is provided).
5. Loosen the clamp and disconnect the feed hose from the pump, then unscrew the union bolt and disconnect the feed hose. Prepare a drain container to collect any spilled fluid. Immediately plug the open ends of the hoses/tubes to minimize fluid loss and prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic system. Remove the sealing washers from the union connection of the hydraulic tube.
Note: During assembly, the sealing washers must be replaced without fail.
6. Unscrew the pump mounting bolts and remove the pump from the mounting bracket.
7. The pump is made as a sealed assembly and is not subject to repair. In case of failure, replace it.
Installation
1. Place the pump in its proper place, screw in the mounting bolts and tighten them to the required torque.
2. Install new sealing washers on both sides of the feed pipe union, then screw in the union bolt. Make sure the connector is properly mated and tighten the union bolt securely.
3. Connect the feed tube to the pump, securing it securely with a clamp. The clamps that hold the hoses can now be removed.
4. Install the steering pump on the support brackets, screw in the mounting bolts and tighten them to the required torque.
5. Reinstall the pump pulley, tightening the mounting bolts only slightly for now. Adjust the belt tension, then fully tighten the pulley mounting bolts.
6. Finally, "bleed" the hydraulic system (see section Removal air locks from the hydraulic circuit of the power steering system).
