How to replace the power steering pump on a 2001 dodge caravan sport
Hi Robert, glad to help! First you need to remove the fluid from the pump reservoir. Second remove the belt from the pulley. Third remove the pressure hose and the return hose from the pump. Forth there are holes in the pulley so you can move the holes to gain access to the 3 bolts that holds the pump to the block, remove those three bolts. Then you'll need a pump pulley removal tools, because the new pump almost never has the pulley on it, so you'll need to remove the pulley and put it on the new pump. You'll need to hold the pulley from turning while removing it. If you don't have these tools and know a mechanic have them do it for you it will be faster. If you want to do it yourself you may be able to rent the pulley and installer tools at autozone or some other store. When you have installed the pump back on the engine and installed the belp and hoses. Make sure after filling it with fluid to start the engine turn the wheel back and forth, and fill it again, you may need to do this several times until all the air is out of the system and it stops whinning. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Robert.
