REMOVAL

NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to Service Precautions.

1. Siphon as much fluid as possible from the power steering fluid reservoir.





2. Remove the grille from the front of the vehicle.
3. Remove the hood-opening weather-strip from across the radiator closure panel.





4. Remove the ambient temperature sensor from the radiator closure panel.





5. Remove the fasteners securing the radiator closure panel in place, then remove the panel.
6. Remove the clamp securing the supply hose to the power steering pump supply fitting, then remove the hose from the supply fitting.





7. Remove the hose clamp securing the supply hose to the power steering fluid reservoir. Slide the hose off the end of the reservoir fitting and remove from vehicle.

INSTALLATION
1. Slide hose clamps onto both ends of the power steering fluid supply hose far enough to clear the fittings on the reservoir and pump once the hose is installed.





2. Install the power steering supply hose into the engine compartment. First, route the pump end of the hose down to the pump supply fitting, then place the reservoir end of the hose onto the fitting of the power steering fluid reservoir.
3. Expand the hose clamp at the fluid reservoir and slide it over the hose and fitting. Secure the clamp once it is past the bead formed into the fluid reservoir fitting.
4. Expand the remaining hose clamp and slide it over the hose and pump supply fitting. Secure the clamp once it is past the bead formed into the fluid reservoir fitting.

CAUTION: Make sure the hose routing is above the engine timing chain cover. The power steering fluid supply hose must remain clear of any unfriendly surface that can cause possible damage to it.

5. Install the radiator closure panel and fasten it in place.
6. Install the ambient temperature sensor on the radiator closure panel.
7. Install the hood-opening weather-strip across the radiator closure panel.
8. Install the grille on the front of the vehicle.
