Power steering pump pulley puller/installer tools are available at most auto parts stores. Remove the three power steering reservoir bolts and set the reservoir aside. Position a drain pan under the power steering pump reservoir hoses. Disconnect the power steering reservoir-to-pump hose and drain the power steering system.

Remove the third power steering pump bolt from the underside of the pump. Lower the vehicle. Remove the power steering pump. Disconnect the reservoir-to-pump hose and the fluid pressure line from the pump. If you removed the power steering pump pulley, inspect the spokes on the pulley for paint marks. If there are already two paint marks, replace the pulley; the two marks indicate that this pulley has already been removed and installed two times and must, therefore, be replaced. If there is one paint mark, or there are no paint marks, the pulley can be installed again. Be sure to put a paint mark on a spoke, near the hub, to indicate that the pulley has been removed and installed. Do NOT install a pulley that has already been removed and installed two times. Installation is the reverse of removal. Be sure to tighten the three pump mounting bolts. Where the power steering pressure line attaches to the pump, install a new Teflon® seal. If you removed the power steering pump pulley, install the pulley before installing the serpentine belt. Fill the power steering reservoir with the recommended fluid and bleed the system following the procedure described in the next. Reactivate the air suspension system, if equipped.
