How to replace power steering motor
Stupid answers from people trying to show they are smart. The HHR HAS AN ELECTRIC power steering assist motor on the steering column under the dash. Electric motors DO NOT use power steering fluid !
Myself I recommend staying off this fixYa site as it seems worthless.

Hello
The electric motor that provides assist to the power steering in this car is part of the steering column assembly and not sold separately, so you must replace the entire steering column. The cost of the steering column is about $600.00, skill level to do the job about 7, 10 being hardest.
To replace it disconnect the negative battery cable for 10 minutes before starting work, then remove the dash trim panel under the column and the lower panel under the dash called the hush panel, then remove the two bolts (15mm I think) that hold the column up and gently drop the column down and remove all the electrical connectors to the steering column turn signal switch, airbag and power steering motor and control module connector for the power steering, now go under the hood and look down where the steering shaft comes through the firewall, that is the sector shaft, it has a clamp that holds it to the input shaft of the steering rack, remove the nut of the bolt that holds the clamp tight for the two shafts at there spline connection, pull back on the shaft that come from the firewall and release the shaft from the lower shaft, go back in the car and remove the the boot at base of the steering column that seals it from the engine compartment, once that is removed verify you have all the electrical connectors off again and then pull the steering column up and out. reverse to reassemble

the power steering fluid resevoir is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment near the fire wall. mostimes in order to fill it you have to remove the altenator to remove the fill cap to add the fluid.

Look where your power steering resivor is located...trace the hoses coming out the side or bottom to the pump on the engine. Sometimes the resivor for the pump is drectly above the pump itself but unlikely with your vehicle. Replacing it will be a joy for you (not really) as you will have to release tension from the main motor belt, remove that from the power steering pump and then manage to have enough room to get to it to replace it.
