(3) Using a siphon pump, remove as much power
steering fluid as possible from the power steering
fluid reservoir.
(4) Raise vehicle on jack stands or centered on a
frame contact type hoist. See Hoisting, in the Lubrication
and Maintenance section of this service manual
for the required lifting procedure.
(5) Disconnect the oxygen sensor wiring harness
from the vehicle wiring harness. Access to connection
at vehicle wiring harness is through the oxygen sensor
wiring harness grommet in the floor pan of the
vehicle.
NOTE: The exhaust system needs to be removed
from the engine to allow for an area to remove the
power steering pump from the vehicle.
(6) Remove the catalytic converter from the
exhaust manifold. Then remove all the exhaust system
hangers/isolators from the brackets on the
exhaust system.
(7) Move the exhaust system as far rearward and
to the left side of the vehicle as possible (Fig. 18).
(8) Raise the heat sleeve on the power steering
hoses to expose the hose to steel tube connection.
Remove the hose from the power steering fluid
return line on the front suspension cradle (Fig. 19).
Allow the remaining power steering fluid to drain
from the pump and fluid reservoir through the
removed return hose.
(9) Remove the accessory drive splash shield (Fig.
20).
(10) Remove the serpentine accessory drive belt
from the engine (Fig. 21). See Cooling, Group 7 for

(11) Remove the power steering fluid supply hose
coming from the remote fluid reservoir, from the fit-
ting on the power steering pump (Fig. 22). Drain off
excess power steering fluid from hose.
(12) Remove the power steering fluid pressure line
(Fig. 22) from the power steering pump. Drain excess
power steering fluid from tube.
(13) Remove the power steering fluid return hose
(Fig. 22) from the power steering pump. Drain excess
power steering fluid from tube.
14) Remove the support bracket at the rear of the
power steering pump attaching the pump to the rear
of the engine (Fig. 23).
(15) Remove the 3 bolts mounting the power steering
pump to the alternator/power steering pump and
belt tensioner mounting bracket (Fig. 24).
(16) Remove the power steering pump from its
mounting bracket.
(17) The power steering pump is removed from the
vehicle by pulling it out through the exhaust tunnel
