Toyota Tacoma (3.4L) - Power Steering Pump Replacement

[@awakedust]

This is actually a really well made video, despite the blurry lens. It was exactly what I needed to convince me I could do this in one afternoon ( I was pinched for time!).
Thank you!
I would recommend people do a good flush before removing the old pump (see timmythetoolman video). My PS system had TONS of gunk in it.

Vid is gold. Thanks for the upload

[@hyr0llr]

Thank you.

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@adriancastro7673]

Is it safe to drive the truck if its making the noise while i wait for the new pump to be delivered. Or would you recommend not driving it till i fix it?

[@hyr0llr]

If its making this same noise itll be fine. The noise is just the bearings arent happy anymore. If it sounds worse than this, id hold off.

[@Wraith8162]

Was yours vibrating/rattling prior to replacement?
Mine is making the exact same noise yours was making, I changed fluid as it was dark/black (324k miles) and the whine/rattling remains.
Would you say replacement is necessary?
Appreciate it.

[@hyr0llr]

@@Wraith8162 it was not rattling. Just was making the whine.
If you can pinpoint the noise to the pump then i would say yes on replacement.

What was the fluid level upon checking? "no response, guess he ran it dry😄"

I can only imagine my phone blowing up to comments throughout my videos on my channel. Again a i apologize.

@@hyr0llr no worries 👌

Where did you source the washers and o ring?

[@hyr0llr]

They come with the new pump

[@danielcito6729]

After driving for a few months does it still whine or pretty much like new? Feel any different on the wheel? I’m doing mine soon

[@hyr0llr]

this is my buddies car , and he hasn't told me anything since it being replaced. So I would assume its all still good lol.

[@snowman1754]

Mine is making that noise but I also notice that the pulley wobbles a little should I replace both??

[@hyr0llr]

The pulley is on the shaft so i would say just the pump is fine. Unless somehow the pulley itself is bent.

[@ffyfy1]

Love your video thank you. Do you by chance know the torque spec on the pulley nut?

[@hyr0llr]

Online i found 32 ft lb

Bro my pressure line is so stuck how was yours so easy

[@hyr0llr]

Try to the use the longest ratchet you have or breaker bar. Or even use the double wrench method.😊

[@jacobmcclure4391]

@@hyr0llrfor some reason my whole thing is spinning so I’ve gotta hold one side with a wrench then undo the bolt. Thanks!
