How do you remove the poer steering pump - 1997 Nissan Pickup

check poer steering pump or where u put the power steering fluid that might be leaking

The most common problem with noisy power steering (whining noise) is that the power steering pump is defective. If you replace the pump make sure you flush the system with clean PS fluid or it can ruin the new pump.

hi.

i have never heard of a bleed nipple on power steering.

you just turn the wheele from full right lock to full left lock and back a few times and the system bleed itself.

if there is still a problem after doing this, then it suggests a fault in the compressor, or the rack itself.

make sure you bleed it well lock steering left and right and hold to make sure all pipe are full pf fluid and top up power steering

Sounds like the power steering pump is nearing end-of-life. Does the car have a lot of miles?

some power steering system is computer control. if you disconnect battery the control module have to be program.the control module uses vechicle speed sensor and steering wheel rotation sensor.to operate an actuator in the power steering pump to control pump pressure and steering assistance.

Check power steering rack. on the camarys its alittle more common than most cars. poke a hole in the boot and watch for a leak. Nothggn should come out of there. If you have fluid coming from the boots then your internal seals are leaking on the rack. a small hole will not hurt the rack if nothing comes out.

Also check your power steering pump shaft. sometimes the seal will leak
.
I think your over heating problem may be a different problem all together.

Hopefull that helps.

You should NOT have to remove the power steering pump. I can give you more detailed informationi, but here's a brief rundown:

1. Remove the necessary coolant from the radiator.
   
2. Remove the alternator, as outlined in the Engine Electrical Section.
3. Loosen the outlet hose clamp at the thermostat housing. Remove the outlet hose from the thermostat housing.
4. Remove the thermostat housing bolts.
5. Remove the thermostat housing from the engine block.
6. Clean all of the surfaces of the thermostat housing.
7. Clean the sealing surface of the engine block.

Give me an email address and I'll gladly send you more information with diagram pics.

hi,maybe you have a electrical working or electrical problem which require a ground connection,maybe the nearest ground connection is your pump,ty

the most likely cause of this is a failed power steering pump.
