  Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on GMC Sierra 1500?

  A:

  The replacement process of the Power Steering Reservoir starts with pump assembly removal from the vehicle. The replacement process begins with removing Power Steering Reservoir studs from Power Steering Pump assembly after which the Power Steering Pump fitting and fitting seal are taken out. Before repair start by taking out both the Power Steering Pump flow control valve and its spring component from the pump assembly. Remove the Power Steering Reservoir away from the Power Steering Pump and delete all Power Steering Pump seals (1, 4, 5). Check the Power Steering Reservoir magnet during cleaning before looking at the Power Steering Pump welch plug. Replace the steering pump if the plug is deformed or removed from its place. The Power Steering Reservoir magnet installation needs cleaning before mounting to the Power Steering Pump where Power Steering Pump seals (1, 4, 5) must be secured prior to reservoir connection with the pump. Keep the flow control valve spring within the pump assembly and install the valve next to it then attach the fitting seal. The installation of Power Steering Reservoir studs and flow control valve fitting must begin with hand tightening before all torques are finalized. Next place the Power Steering Pump fitting onto the pump assembly before tightening it to 75 n.m (55 lb ft). Install the Power Steering Reservoir studs to the pump assembly with a torque of 58 n.m (44 lb ft). Connect the Power Steering Pump assembly to the vehicle similarly as before installation.

  Q: How to replace the Power Steering Reservoir on GMC Sierra 1500?

  A:

  The first step to change a Power Steering Reservoir is to detach the Power Steering Pump assembly from the vehicle structure. The first step is removing the Power Steering Pump assembly studs followed by removal of the Power Steering Pump fitting and its associated fitting seal. After disconnecting the Power Steering Pump flow control valve along with its spring you need to separate the Power Steering Reservoir from the pump. The Power Steering Reservoir magnet requires cleaning followed by checking the welch plug inside the Power Steering Pump without pulling the device out. Disfigurement or displacement of the plug indicates pump replacement. To assemble the system first apply cleaning to the Power Steering Reservoir magnet and after install the Power Steering Pump seals numbered 1, 4, and 5 onto the pump device followed by connecting the reservoir unit to the pump. Affix the spring for the flow control valve and the valve to the pump assembly after which apply the fitting seal. Use your hands first to start the Power Steering Reservoir studs and the flow control valve fitting before tightening all torques to their specified values. Screw in the Power Steering Pump fitting onto the pump assembly while torquing it to 75 nm (55 lb ft). After that, install the Power Steering Reservoir studs to the pump assembly then torque them until they reach 58 nm (44 lb ft). Place the Power Steering Pump assembly back inside the vehicle as the final step.
