When replacing or removing the power steering pump, one of the two following procedures must be followed. If no jack or hoist is available to raise the front wheels, use Procedure No. 1. If front wheels can be safely raised off the ground, use Procedure No. 2.
Procedure No. 1
The replacement power steering pump must be primed with the specified power steering fluid prior to installation in the vehicle.
1. Remove the fitting from the pressure port and pour power steering fluid into the pressure port with the port facing upward to maximize the amount of fluid added to the power steering pump.
2. Turn the pump driveshaft slowly and continue to add fluid.
3. Install the power steering pump in the vehicle in a manner that does not allow the fluid to escape from the power steering pump.
4. Attach the power steering lines to the power steering pump and power steering pump auxiliary reservoir.
5. Fill the power steering pump auxiliary reservoir to the proper level.
6. Start the engine and allow it to run for several minutes.

Be sure to change the Cam sensor if you are changing the power steering pump. It is a cheap part worth changing since you will be in the area.Dazedust said:
