For people like me who have this same pump, this video doesn't show it, but if you remove the large circle clip you can remove the shaft with the bearing on it, and under that bearing is a seal that comes with the kit. Another thing that doesn't come with the kit is a 6203 bearing. If yours is shot, you can buy a new one for about $8 if you have a bearing store nearby or Ebay. I have lots of sockets and a large vise that I used to remove the bearing from the shaft and press the new one on. Don't try to hammer it on. same with the seal under the bearing. Press it in with a big socket.
Man, thank you so much for making these. I've uploaded edited and made videos to UA-cam for a school projects before and I know the time it takes.
I have to say, this is the best video on fixing things on a car I have ever seen. I will be replacing the pump in my 03 legacy outback. I know it's not exactly the same but, this gave me a better idea on how to do it. Thank you!
+Jake Bennett pretty much is exactly the same on yours. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Thanks so much! Just rebuilt the pump. I pulled the seal on the front, even though mine was not leaking...and it appears to be a dust seal. No idea why it is not in the kit. Thanks for taking the time!
You're a hero to home mechanics everywhere.
Very well done. No nonsense great quality in focus get to the point video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, it really helped me overhaul my power steering pump today.
+Gavin Carney glad to help.
There is a lot to learn from this guy!
Those are some nice tools you have there!
Thank you.
I'm about to have to do this exact procedure on my 97 Legacy GT. This video is a lifesaver. Just waiting on the kit to arrive in the mail next week and I'll be rebuilding the pump.
After that my only main issue will be the water leak inside. Clearly a drain tube somewhere is clogged but I can't find it.
Found the interior leak before I even got to fixing this problem. Turned out the sunroof's drain hose had gotten old and hard and slipped off of the nib, so the water was just draining down into my ceiling. Swapped on a new piece of rubber hose and it's worked like a charm since. Today's the first nice day in a week or two, so I'm gonna take the opportunity to try and pop my PS pump off and rebuild it before the rains come back. If I have time, I'm gonna try to flush my coolant while I'm at it, since I have the stuff to do it and don't think I've done it since I bought the car.
Wow, i have the red fluid coming out of mine everywhere, so that means i have to rebuild mine as well, luckily i came across this. i have 98 legacy rx
So satisfying to watch! thank u!
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Your's videos helps a lot. Thank you very much!
+ARKADIY AYNVARG you're welcome. Glad to be of help. 👍
only thing i would do different is use a torque wrench to finish the bolts, to be fair you do have a cordless impact wrench. The Pneumatic ones tend to overtighten bolts. ;) great video!
Excellent how-to vid. Thanks.
+manny pna glad you enjoyed.
That was very helpful, amazing volume of videos man, thank you!! I subbed for sure.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome to the channel. 👍
Just finished the rebuild of my P/S pump for my ‘01 Forester. The pump on my Forester 2.5 L was a bit different with extra parts and some extra very smalls seals, but in general is similar to the one on this video. Important: the round area of the vines need to be facing out(all vines have a burnt mark which faces out). If you attempting this yourself, pay very close attention to the orientation(take a few pics) of the part which seats inside at the the oil pump housing through the shaft(the part that has a big seal under it). I ended up having to disassemble the pump again because of clicking sounds, since I had placed the inner part that seats at the bottom through the shaft 180 degrees from what it should have been. It’s all good now, it’s back on the car, no more clicking sounds or whining noises at all.
Such a helpful video, I learned a ton and thanks a lot for making this!
You're welcome. Glad to help. 👍🏻
i just did this on my 99 OB today. one thing that is not seen on the vid is that the 1 st plate also has notches that need to need to be lined up for the rear plate pins to go through . it is possible to install the plate wrong and rear plate will still go on. the result will be a indent from the pin and no pump pressure. i figured it out when i took it apart again. now it works fine
Thanks for the video it's great! I have a red 98 legacy gt ltd and I'm glad to see you have some video for the same car! I'll definitely be checking those out as there's things I'd like to do to my car but just need a bit of guidance
+Omar S awesome! Glad to help. Nice to see someone else with a rarer subie.
Please note the INNER ring AROUND the vanes for the pump needs to have the dimples FACING OUT or the pump will flow but not assist. Thought I wrecked my pump and took it apart again after reading a comment in this video and sure enough, that did it.
Solid, helpful video. Thank you very much for posting this.
You're welcome. 👍🏻
Damn, his motor sounds so healthy 😂. Hopefully mine will sounds just as nice someday.
Still running strong.
The tip about spinning the wheel does that work where the reservoir is to the side
Great video...thanks for the help!!!!!!
No problem, glad to help.
You definitely did! I got the job DONE thanks to you!!!
Awesome video bro keep them coming, greetings from Aruba.
Thanks so much for sharing! Spot on!
I commented on your 2007 rebuild video, but probably should have here. I see that the Subaru kit has a lot more parts than the Gates and other aftermarket kits. I wonder if that's a problem.
Nice job walking true with your video this helps a lot thanks to you i can do the job my slef.i ned one with the oil fliter cooling system.thank you
You're welcome 👍🏻.
7:27 yes, luckily, the nose of your pump wasn't leaking. Mine was and it's because that front seal is actually a full bearing with spindle pressed into the pump body. The front cover of the bearing on mine was falling out.
I use that torque method myself as well 😅
Thanks for the great video, it's really been helpful. But I
have run into one problem. I've removed the pump and am ready to install the new seals, but my pump (98 Outback) is leaking from the nose area (behind the
pulley). I guess that is the nose seal you mentioned, but I don't know how to access that.
Do I have to remove the bearing to replace the nose seal?
Or do I have to remove and replace the whole bearing and shaft?
Thanks in advance for any help.
+John Cam I can't remember off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure there is a shift seal in the front of the bearing, behind the pulley.
thanks . very details .how to replace new seal.
+Nhu Bui glad to help.
Hey mate could the PS pump be rebuild for 2006 EZ30 outback?
Still have that po448 now also have leaky power steering pump oem on 2006 subie sti looking for a gates reseal kit ordered a cardone psp from carid for now by the way great videos on all ill have to call gates customer service hopefully they have a kit for pump saludos
Nice vid! Did you have to clean any of the parts prior to reinstall? Or was it just about replacing gaskets?
Yes, there was a lot of power steering fluid to clean off.
Weird question, was the Gated seal kit you got just missing the nose seal or does Gates not supply the nose seal in that kit?
Thanks for the video! Is this process similar for a 2004 STi?
Nice you have top quality tools, def helps not like most of use. Nice vid! you think a 2009 subie outback is about the same?
+Oscar Espinoza it's fairly similar, not sure about a rebuild kit for it though.
Truu man im also surprised dat his tools looks so clean even wen usin it. Mines all greased up after work done even wid gloves on.
Very well made video, extremely helpful - thank you!
Does all 100% of the PS fluid need to be removed from the system before removing the pump assembly? Or do you just try to remove as much as you can from the reservoir before disassembly?
Searching your vids...anything on leaking PS hoses under car?
I have a 91 legacy but can only find a rebuild kit for a 99, did they use the same pumps for both or am I SOL?
The word rebuild here is a little loose? It’s just a reseal correct? Bad p/s pump at 200k 03 outback, I see different pump, not sure if leaking gonna check it out. Should I just get another one? I heard aftermarket ones can be trouble. My dad’s car is getting a noisy belt and mechanic said go replace it at around 600. I was hoping I could dig in there with and fix her up. I might consider a reseal kit if it’s just leaking or at the mileage just replace (bearings, other mechanical parts worn out?)
4:22 where did that snap ring come from?
Wondering the same thing? No mention of snap ring removal or replacement can I see the snap ring pliers. But agreed ....you are a hero!! Your videos are awesome!! Thanks!
Hi,thanks for your videos;
i have a question please: do you think that just the internal o rings,on any pump,when they set/deform can make the pump deliver less pressure,and make for a hard steering? i have a weak pump (i tried with another one --very easy to R and R ,Trooper 3.1TD--,and it's all good) that i opened,the o rings all have a set,i wonder it it's worth replacing just them,all hard parts look ok
So there is no bearings in the pump to replace ?
Good job, what is the problem if the pump is fine without leaks or noises and the rack is good, new factory hoses
But the steering is hard a little bit?
Could be trapped air, deteriorated fluid, or a weak pump.
fresh but very cheap fluid can make problems ?
and how to drain the oil from the system ?
Incorrect fluid can. Did you use dextron atf? Or generic power steering fluid?
i use Dexron 1 ATF which has a red colour like blood but it is the cheapest fluid in the city made by Saudi company
That shouldn't be the issue then.
Would this rebuild kit work with my cylindrical reservoir style pump on my 1995 Impreza? Thanks
Hey bud, I've got the outback legacy ej25d, everything on mine looks pretty similar. Is there much else that can be effected messing around with the ps pump on these? Really hoping this is as easy as you made it look.
Would this kit fit a gen 1 93 Legacy (Liberty here in Australia) RS Turbo? I think the pumps are the same as N/A gen 1's. If not do you have any idea of the part number or kit that would? Thanks
Is this the ctr761a cordless ratchet that you used? I kinda want to get one but I haven't seen any video reviews on UA-cam about it
Yes it is. It's awesome.
Jacob Cobb Milwaukee has filed a lawsuit against Snap On for power tool battery infringements and this was in December.Did this to 7 or 8 other power tool manufacturers also
Will this be the same for my p6 WRX ej255 turbo.
Jordan P probably. Look
How similiar is the process of removal on a 2004 wrx with the ej205?
Yup.. I gotta do this to my '01 Forester as well as it's presenting most of the symptoms described at the beginning of the video..
Question: Once the pump is overhauled and reinstalled, is there a concern for having air trapped in the lines once all is hooked back up together?
If so, how can it be taken care of?
Simply lift the front tires, fill the reservoir, start the engine, turn the steering wheel back and fourth, lock to lock until the whine stops. Top up fluid. Air bleeding complete.
MrSubaru1387 Awesome, thanks!
Do you think that this is the same thing to rebuild a SVX 1992 PS pump?
+altorhys I'm sure it's similar procedure, but most likely a different kit.
merci!
Would this process work for a 1995 Subaru Impreza?
One question, what is that C-shaped clip-looking thing that appears at 4:25 to the left of the pump? Where does that come from or go?
This morning power steering pump work great , thats the strange thing. Some times it works and some times it do-sent work .
+Christopher Ohara start cheap. Flush your system with fresh fluid.
Thx for the vid! Do you know if they also sell the kit for 2011 legacy models, went by the Subaru dealership and I was told they don’t this kit and was only available for previous models like 08 and down. Was wonder if there was an aftermarket kit out there. Thx for the vids that have been very helpful!
Sorry, haven't attempted a rebuild/reseal on that particular pump.
hey is it true the bearings are pressed onto the shaft? Or can you replace them by hand? props to you for the nice video btw
+Sam Burrows pressed on I believe.
Is it normal for the reservoir to become extremely hot ? Just did the rebuild and not sure if some went wrong but the tank is too hot to even touch. Would really appreciate if someone can comment
Aquí lo encontré, claro no es la misma, la mía tiene el depósito detrás del filtro de aire, igual gracias, deberías subir un video desmontando un 2.0R xD
+Yherkho Cortez Desafortunadamente, nunca tuvimos un Legacy con el 2.0R. Tuvimos un 2. 5 en el Legacy de USA en 2006.
MrSubaru1387 a ok, igual gracias por tus videos, el de cambio de correa de
Distribución parece ser el mismo motor que mi auto ej20 de 4 levas, y para los cambios de discos, y fuelles, me va a ayudar bastante, lo único que no sé cómo se saca es el motor del aire acondicionado que suena como estuviera pegado, el que va por detrás de la radio, saludos
el sello del recipiente es gual para el modelo 1994
Can you write down all the tools you used and the names of them ! Thanks
Does this rebuild kit come with a new bearing? I have a 99 s u s
How hard is it to do the bearing?
It hammers out and back in. I have another power steering pump video that shows the removal.
I think my bearing is bad because it is making so much noise. Is that replaceable? Any special tools needed? Or should I just buy a New one at roughly 130 dollars?
Thanks...
It is replaceable, not sure if the part is available though.
Is the gates part # same for my model 1999 jdm v5 sti?
Can you do a H6 power steering pump rebuild?
There's no H6 pump rebuild kit, unfortunately.
@@MrSubaru1387 I've got mine apart not and trying to track down the main seal and all the o rings. Hope it stops the leaks.
Thanks for sharing. In my country they don't have rebuild kits for these pumps unfortunately. So I replaced all the O-rings and the bearing (the bearing was humming that's what started my rebuild). The plate seal and larger seals I cannot replace unfortunately.
I asked the Subaru dealership what a new pump would cost and it is around 800 dollars........
Do you know if there is a proper drain to drain the transmission fluid from the pump and not spill anything? Thanks again!
+Bart ten Thije as far as I know there isn't. You could possibly siphon fluid out of the reservoir first, but will be a mess either way.
+zcamaross09 Thanks!
I have some issues with my Subaru Power Steering, after replacing the track rod end and rack ends the steering wheel became a lot stiffer and now it doesn't want to return to the middle on it's own, as it used to be. It's only gets back to about 80% and the rest has to be done by hand. I replaced the fluid a few times already, but that didn't help. The belt is new as well, I can't really hear any whining noise coming out of it and there are only very minor leaks on the very top (small pipe), but overall the level is always high and doesn't go down. CAN anyone advise please?
So without power tools or a vice do you recommend breaking loose all the bolts while it's still mounted on the engine?
don't need the power tools, definitely need a torque wrench, luckily i think all bolts are accessible enogh to re-torque in-situ, but definitely a PIA working without a vice
Im getting groaning coming from the P/S pump, when I turn left or right. I've just change the outside o-ring as well as the belts and still in getting the same groan. I'd follow the same procedure with a 2007 Liberty P/S pump, wouldn't I?
+Sean Obrien close, but can't say for sure. This is from a 98 US spec Legacy GT.
is there a way to bleed a power steering system or is it all done by just turning the wheel lock to lock?
Turning the wheels lock to lock. Having difficulties?
99 Legacy Outback? Same rebuilt kit part number? Looks the same to me. Thanks...
Yes, should be the same.
Any chance you'll do a psp rebuild for the 02 LL Bean h6? I just swapped the suction hose and o-ring on mine (02 h6 LL Bean) and I'm still getting some whining... Thanks in advance!
There's no rebuild/reseal kit for those pumps, unfortunately.
Bummer... Thanks for the reply! Love the channel too, the vids are always great! Keep it up!
I bought a new pump instead of rebuilding. What tools do I need to remove the old pulley wheel? Thanks
+soundtweaker impact the nut off and the pulley should come off by hand.
What year is your subaru?
1998
+zcamaross09 I just got a 1995 subaru legacy two days ago, and it has the same problem. Thanks for the video!!! really helpful!:)
Cool. Glad to help.
Bro, where do I get the kit? Please
Great video sir, where can i buy a power steering pump repair kit for my 2000 subaru forester?
+Dhon Legados I'd check RockAuto, Amazon, etc.
MrSubaru1387 thank you very much sir.... god bless!.. ;)
I'm debating if I should replace the leaking pump on my 2005 outback myself, I don't want to rebuild it. With the reservoir for it being in front of the passenger side wheel well, do I need to prime the pump and lines before stating the car, and how would I go about doing that? Is this a good idea if I've never done this before, I do have some experience with hydraulics systems and small engine work. Thank you.
+HellishGrin460 if you're replacing the pump all you really need to do is bolt the new pump in, attach the lines, and fill the system. Start the car with the front jacked up and supported by jack stands. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock left and right until you no longer hear whining. Top the fluid off to full in the reservoir and you're good. Check for leaks at hoses. Correct them if found.
MrSubaru1387 thanks for the advice, what's your opinion on seafoam products? I can hear that the valves have started to click a bit, is there a good product out there to help with that? And I've noticed another dipstick on the passenger side directly behind the engine (not on it), I know it's not transmission fluid, but it does seem to have a strong smell and looks pretty dark, and I think I can smell it on hot days or when I'm pulling trailers. Any idea what that is?
+HellishGrin460 that's the front differential gear oil. It sound be amber-ish at darkest. It's probably time to flush it. I have a video on the front and rear differential service if you look on the channel.
Is this the same pump they used on the 2002 outback L.L. Bean's?
+BMW Manz no. Different pump.
MrSubaru1387, would you replace or repair parts like the power steering pump at the dealership?
+Nick Matula dealership would replace the pump. I highly doubt they would rebuild it.
I replaced a power steering pump on my 2000 Subaru outback and the whining has reduced to a groan but is still there. How do I get rid of the groaning noise? I checked for air and didn't see bubbles so I don't think there's air in the system. What could be the cause?
+MoneyMarcMes did the turning the wheels lock to lock with them raised in the air?
I did not raise it in the air. I don't have a lift. I just turned lock to lock on the ground. Found our I needed a new return hose, replaced it along with two new o rings for the inlet and that stopped the air from getting in. Thanks!
my 1996 the steering is very hard but pump not whining not low on fluid either , allmost like it has are in fluid . what do you think
+Christopher Ohara pump could be weak, could have a restriction in one of the lines, could be a bad steering rack. Hard to say.
I like your videos , the rebuild kit you did you think
That would work
+Christopher Ohara worth a shot. Couldn't give a definitive answer without seeing it in person though.
where to buy the repair kit? mine is Impreza 2009 1.5R non turbo model.
+Alex Bong try Subaruparts.com
Was the power steering pump rebuild required because the car was ran without power steering fluid???
+Pauly Nguyen it was required because the pump was leaking fluid.
Yeah that's happening to my 93 legacy. I'm just getting into learning to fix my car so your video is so helpful brother thank you!
+Pauly Nguyen you're welcome.
is there any way you can supply a list of tools needed? I plan on doing this tomorrow. hope you reply soon.
10mm socket, 12mm socket, 13mm socket, 14mm socket, 15mm socket, 12mm wrench, ratchet, extensions, pliers, and pick. Impact would be helpful as well.
+zcamaross09 thank you for your quick reply. can't wait to have steering again. I've gotten so buff driving to work lately lol. thanks man.
MrSubaru1387, I just replaced the belts on my 99 forester L. Every time I start the car there is a squeal. I opened the hood to notice that my power-steering pump pulley is very wobbly. Do I need to replace the whole pump? (my power steering is fine, I haven't noticed any fluid leaking or loss of power steering yet) or can I replace the pulley itself?
I'd remove the pulley and make sure it is not bent or damaged.
Thanks for your speedy response!
You're welcome. 👍
I have a 2008 impreza wrx. I have flushed the fluid and changed the o ring on the return inlet hose. So I have no whining noises. But now it's very stiff at turns. Also engine on in neutral trying to turn the wheel lock to lock. Any suggestions?
+BAKWOODS KID did you put the correct power steering fluid in? Remember to hook the electric connector on the back of the pump up?
MrSubaru1387 yes connector is hooked up. I used BG power steering fluid recommended by from subaru service. I thought I was supposed to use ATF.
+BAKWOODS KID yea. Should use dexron ATF for the power steering fluid..
MrSubaru1387 thanks I'll look into that. Just seems odd. It's been running for over two weeks no issues until now.
+BAKWOODS KID just checked the service manual for the 08 impreza. States Subaru ATF HP or Dex III are to be used for the power steering fluid.
super cool but I migth just break something jajajdjjajaa
Nice Bro.Keep it up.
2nd time I've tried to rebuild an Impreza pump and when I reinstall it, I have no power. There's no leak but I can't get power back. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? It's not that big a repair.
Any noise?
MrSubaru1387 no. No bubbles when I swing the wheel side to side. The fluid doesn't even move. Like it's not pumping.
Must of messed something up when I pulled it apart. Don't know what cause it's pretty simple.
+Robert Ferraro yea, something is definitely not right. Aren't seeing any metal shavings or damage to the internals after taking it apart the second time?
I didn't. I took it apart again this morning and noticed I didn't have the part that sits under the veins oriented properly. I had the dimples off a little bit when I fixed it at trucks perfectly inside of the palm I reinstalled it and hook it all up however I still don't have very good power steering. Again no leaks not my son is there but no power. I probably should've mentioned that I change the rack at the same time not sure that would have much to do with it as I went through the bleeding procedure a few times.I think I may just need to get a new pump
Voice to text is horrible. Meant to say once I oriented it right it fits perfectly inside the pump.
