2004 Chevrolet Impala Power Steering Pump Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to replace the power steering pump on a 3.8L engine on 2004 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: A 3.8l engine requires the owner to remove first the accessory Drive Belt followed by vehicle elevation and tire removal. Begin the process by dismounting the electrical connector from the Power Steering Pump and then disconnecting the pressure hose as well as the return hose from this component. You should begin by removing the mounting bolts before extracting the Power Steering Pump from its place. Secondly you should detach the Power Steering Pump reservoir and pulley mechanism from the pump. First install the Power Steering Pump reservoir following attachment of the pulley then position the pump correctly against the engine before securing the mounting bolts up to 34 nm torque using tools (25 ft. Lbs.). After reattaching the power steering pressure hose and return hose you should connect the electrical connector to the Power Steering Pump. The last step requires reinstallation of the accessory Drive Belt followed by power steering fluid addition and system bleeding and then leak inspection.
