cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual, for the required lifting procedure to be used for
this vehicle.
(5) Remove at power steering pump, the power
steering fluid hose coming from the power steering
fluid reservoir. Let the power steering fluid drain out
of the reservoir and hose.
(6) Lower vehicle.
(7) Remove hose clamp attaching the power steer-
ing fluid supply hose to the power steering fluid res-
ervoir (Fig. 24).
(8) Remove the power steering fluid supply hose
from the vehicle. Hose is removed from the top of the
engine compartment.
INSTALL
CAUTION: On V-6 engine applications, the power
steering fluid reservoir to power steering hose must
be routed tightly against the strut tower and parallel
to the dash panel. It must also be routed under the
wiring harness and below the drip tube. This rout-
ing will prevent the power steering fluid supply
hose from coming in contact with the accessory
drive belt.
(1) Install and correctly route the power steering
fluid supply hose from remote fluid reservoir down to
power steering pump.
(2) Install the fluid supply hose onto the power
steering fluid reservoir (Fig. 24). Install the hose
clamp on the fluid supply hose. Be sure hose clamp
is installed past bead on fluid reservoir fitting.
(3) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting in the Lubri-
cation and Maintenance section of this service man-
ual, for the required lifting procedure to be used for
this vehicle.
(4) Install power steering fluid supply hose on
power steering pump. Install the hose clamp on the
fluid supply hose. Be sure hose clamp is installed
past bead on pump fitting.
(5) Lower vehicle.
(6) Install routing clip on power steering fluid sup-
ply hose. Be sure routing clip is installed in a posi-
tion to correctly align with stud in strut tower.
(7) Install routing clip for power steering fluid sup-
ply hose on stud in strut tower (Fig. 25).
(8) Fill the remote fluid reservoir to the proper
level and let the fluid settle for at least two (2) min-
utes.
(9) Start the engine and let run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.
(10) Add fluid if necessary. Repeat the above pro-
cedure until the fluid level remains constant after
running the engine.
(11) Raise the front wheels off the ground.
(12) Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering
wheel right and left, lightly contacting the wheel
stops.
(13) Add power steering fluid if necessary.
(14) Lower the vehicle and turn the steering wheel
slowly from lock to lock.
(15) Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and
refill as required.
(16) If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehi-
cle to stand a few minutes and repeat the above pro-
cedure.
POWER STEERING FLUID PRESSURE HOSE
Service all power steering hoses with vehicle raised
on hoist. Cap all open ends of hoses, power steering
pump fittings and steering gear ports to prevent
entry of foreign material into the components.
WARNING: POWER
PARTS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM MAY BE
EXTREMELY HOT IF ENGINE HAS BEEN RUNNING.
DO NOT START ENGINE WITH ANY LOOSE OR DIS-
CONNECTED HOSES. DO NOT ALLOW HOSES TO
TOUCH HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR CATALYST.
For part reference and part location for the vehicle
that is being serviced, refer to the following figure
numbers. These show the hose bracket locations,
hose routings and fitting locations by the engine
application of the vehicle. Use these figure numbers
when referring to the removal or installation proce-
dures for the power steering hoses listed below.
REMOVE
(1) Remove cap from power steering fluid reser-
voir.
(2) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.
(3) Raise vehicle See Hoisting, Group 0. Put oil
drain pan under vehicle to catch power steering fluid.
(4) Raise the heat sleeve on the power steering
fluid return hose (Fig. 26) to expose the return hose
to steel tube connection. Remove the hose clamp from
the power steering fluid return hose (Fig. 26).
Remove power steering fluid return hose from steel
tube and allow power steering fluid to drain from
