  Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on Chevrolet Tahoe?

  A:

  The Power Steering Reservoir replacement starts by eliminating the Power Steering Pump assembly from vehicles with engines 4.8l, 5.3l, 6.0l, or 6.2l. The Power Steering Pump assembly requires the removal of its stud-mounted Power Steering Reservoir first followed by unmounting of the pump fitting together with its seal. Start by extracting the Power Steering Pump flow control valve along with its spring from inside the pump assembly before you break the Power Steering Reservoir away from the pump. Inspect the welch plug inside the Power Steering Pump without removing it while also examining the Power Steering Reservoir magnet for cleaning purposes; disfigurement or looseness of these components indicates the need for replacing the Power Steering Pump. Install the Power Steering Reservoir magnet after cleaning then attach seals number 1, 4, 5 to the Power Steering Pump before connecting the reservoir to the pump. The process for assembly includes mounting the Power Steering Pump flow control valve spring followed by the flow control valve to the pump assembly before final attachment of the Power Steering Pump fitting seal. The Power Steering Reservoir studs and flow control valve fittings must be hand-started before all torques are applied. Torque the Power Steering Pump fitting to the pump assembly at 75 nm (55 lb ft). The Power Steering Reservoir studs must be installed onto the pump assembly and fastened to 58 nm (44 lb ft). After completing the process reinstall the Power Steering Pump assembly on the vehicle.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Power Steering Reservoir on Chevrolet Tahoe?

  A:

  The initial procedure to approach Power Steering Reservoir repair and service includes draining power steering fluid from the Power Steering Pump. Detach both pump mounting studs together with the connector and fitting assembly from its place. First detach the variable assist steering actuator with the retaining ring and afterward extract the o-ring seal from the connector and fitting assembly. The replacement process involves first taking out the control valve assembly together with the flow control spring from the pump housing assembly. The reservoir assembly of the pump housing assembly requires detachment before removing o-ring seals and the magnet while cleaning both components. An inspection of the welch plug in the Power Steering Pump housing requires no removal of the part while examining it for deformation or dislodgement because a new Power Steering Pump housing must be installed if these issues exist. New o-ring seals should be installed to the power steering system while power steering fluid serves as lubricant. Proceed with installation of the pump housing assembly control valve assemblies while inserting the flow control spring and the o-ring seals and the final step includes the integration of the magnet. Assemble the reservoir with the pump housing while placing the o-ring seal between them. Replace the connector with the fitting assembly before installing the variable assist steering actuator and its retaining ring. The pump mounting studs need to be installed to the pump housing while torque should be set to 58 nm (43 ft. Lbs.). Additional attention should be given to installing the connector and fitting assembly at 75 nm (55 ft. Lbs.).
