Very helpful! When I tried using the puller to get the pulley off, even with it centered and well seated, using a ratchet, I broke the flange on the pulley. Now I have to buy a new pulley. Wish I had an impact gun. On my truck those ground wires are not attached to the power steering pump. They are attached to the bracket at the back of the pump that attaches to the block. Much easier than fishing them past the bottom of the pulley. Good video! Thanks.
Love this video! Shows how to do it as I would, the hard way, but one handed. I’m halfway through this on my 6.0 H2 and needed the video to figure out how to actually get that big bracket holding alt. and PS pump off- I did not know about the bolt on the bottom and can now finish. Thanks for putting this video together one handed , I could tell you had the knowledge but needed to slow it down for the video. Very helpful
Gotta replace my pump, did yours have the evo solenoid on high psi fitting on rear of old pump? If so can high psi line just install without using the solenoid?
Hey I have a 2005 Yukon SLT 5.3L automatic with 218,000 miles. All stock equipped. Doesn't make any noise of any kind, that's abnormal. Well kept and daily driver. I drove it out on the highway for 300 miles and when I exited Interstate it was in manual steering mode...stiff to turn like it had no pump at all. And the brakes were not boosted either. It's not the belt or fluids of steering or brakes...all good. No leaks. No codes. No smells. No noises of pump failure. It only does it at low rpms when coming to stop, under 700 rpm. It works fine when above that. And the brakes are unboosted when it does it also, but work. This is the pump I assume? Remove and replace eh? Suggestions of what pump brands you had success with? I'm eyeballing the O'Reily $72 special. Thanks!
there's no need to lift the truck or removing skid plates, no need to get under the truck, no need to dsconnect the power hose from the steering power, just disconent from the hidroboost, I replace mine out of a 005 tahoe, i remove the alternator house as a whole, loose the one bracket bolt from engine , then remove the power steering with the power hose attached, just remember the hose route, then i transfer the bracket from the old power steering to the new one , and if you want to replace the power hose (wich i did) put it exactly as the old one, then put the unit back, install the one bracket bolt to the engine, then put back the alternator housing, align all the bolts, conect the power hose to the hidrobost, conect the two rubber hoses, put back rhe pulley FAST AND EASY !!
@@marcellusjenkins350 FIRST THING, disconect the batery, remove the radiator upper hose, remove the fans unit, disconect wires attached to alternator, remove the bracket that holds those cables, remove the temp.sensor conector, then remove the pulley ,EASY, loosen up the power steering bolt attached to the engine, don't remove yet, remove the alternator housing unit as a whole, disconect the power hose from the hydroboost, by then the power steering is loose, then remove the 2 hoses attached to the power steering, then remove the bolt that was just lose, that's it, remove it, transfer the power hose, and the bracket, be sure to conect the power hose exactly as it was attached to de old unit , put everything back, AND THAT'S IT !! DO IT , IS EASY, LITTLE BIT HARD REMOVING AND INSTALL THE PULLEY !!
How important is it to put on that back bracket. The pump i bought does not have the bolt studs on it. Its meant to have bolts put in it but didnt come with any.
aiways, before you remove something, look, try to do things the easy way, see your alternatives, see if you can do things easy THAT'S WHAT I DO, SIMPLIFIED THINGS

when removing the pulley with this tool, don't use the sleeve, use a hose clamp to hold it
Love this video!

@@mikebelcher6692 no solenoid on mine standard power steering pump and hose setup
@@jimdavis4356 Thanks for the reply, I changed mine out yesterday and it was just like yours. Now I can steer at idle
Sweet video. I used this video to replace my power steering pump in my 2005 Hummer H2. Same drive system.

Great video. And only one hand? You're the man.

sounds much easier! Did you remove the pulley before removing the bracket. It seems to me that it would be easier than removing in on the bench

Great video. Very helpful. I enjoyed your use of “dude” to describe things. I found myself doing it all day. 👍
Loved the video, great job!
Best vid 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
excellent video
New O ring on the high pressure side?
How long does this job take.
An hour or so
Wondering what would be a different method to take off that pulley without using a special tool 🤔
It's a press fit pulley. They aren't designed to be removed or installed without a tool.
Can we do it without air tools????
YES!

Take the bolts off the old pump and reuse on the new
way easier to pull pulley off while bracket ia still mounted to block
Not when the cheap puller tool destroys the pulley like mine did. Now I'm forced to see what all is involved in doing it the hard way. FML
Whats another way to take off the wheel from the power string pump if you don't have a pully
I’m not sure. It appears you would to have it. I think auto parts houses will loan or rent 1.

Can you tell us what size wrench for the line? Then don't make a video
I explained tools in the first minute. But thanks for watching, Ritch!
It's a 5/8" Flare Nut Wrench
There was no need to remove that bracket i do them on the vehicle. waste of time.
I don't know what everyone else is talking about but you should never make another video for the rest of your life.
Damn. Harsh.
