Whether you’re looking to check and fill power steering fluid or if you’d like more information on symptoms of a bad power steering pump, let O’Reilly Auto Parts supply you with the parts, information, and automotive rental tools to get the job done right.

Step 1: Prep the Old Pump
Start by lubricating the forcing screw and thread it into the puller housing. Put the puller in place on the pulley and position the clam shells so that they will catch the lip in the center. Make sure both pieces of the clam shells are oriented properly and evenly.
Step 2: Remove the Old Pulley
Slide the retaining ring on until the clam halves are completely enclosed.
Use 5/8” and 13/16” or 16 and 21mm wrenches, or a 5/8” or 16mm socket with a ratchet or breaker bar, to turn the forcing screw until the pulley presses off the shaft.
Step 3: Prep the New Pump
Determine which of the installation bolts you’ll need and lubricate the threads.
Assemble the bolt and pressure bearing, and set the pulley in place on the shaft. Thread the installer assembly into the main shaft.
Step 4: Install the Pulley on the New Pump
Secure the installation bolt with a 9/16” or 14mm wrench or a socket and ratchet and turn the pressure bearing with a 11/16” or 17mm wrench until the pulley bottoms out, indicating it is fully pressed-on and secure.
