What makes this how-to power steering pump video better than most is the information about the wear pattern or witness marks on the sides of the vanes. The wear pattern orientation can confirm the vanes are installed correctly if they fall out. Not only get the correct edge to the outside but also get the vanes installed in the slots in the original position, the vanes can still be flipped even with the correct edge to the outside. I don't know if this makes a difference but just good to get everything installed as it was originally. I did my best to keep the pump internals together so the vanes wouldn't fall out but still disturbed the assembly enough and had some of the vanes fall out. You should be prepared on how to install these vanes correctly before starting this job because there's a good possibility one or more may fall out. Thanks for the great video, I didn't have to do the PS pump rebuild over because of any mistakes.
this video is so detailed a 7-year-old could rebuild a pump with this guide, great job!
Right on!
Thanks.
I know "most" but not all of this and it's very helpful to see a professional do it the correct way. Thank you

@@SouthpawAutoworks I'm going to overhaul power steering pump on my buddies 2002 Mazda 6. Pump intermittently seizes up, steering wheel, hard to turn. Already flushed the system by removing resiviour return rubber hose, blocking moulded hose pipe on plastic resiviour. Filling resiviour full, start motor/run few seconds repeat process till fluid expelled from rubber return hose was clean. Refit rubber return hose, top up resiviour, bleed system of air, test, problem still present. Waiting for him to arrive with an overhaul kit. 🖐🇦🇺
I hope you're able to find something obvious when you get it tore apart.
Thank you. Intend using this info on a Nissan Frontier. And thank you for no mindless rambling or distracting "music". So professional.
Right on.
The positive feedback is appreciated.
Wishing you the best on your Nissan pump.
EXCELLENT how-to video! The cautions about paying close attention during disassembly and taking notes are priceless. But these days, since virtually everyone has a smartphone with a digital camera, I would add taking detailed, step-by-step photos to the list. Regardless, this is easily one of the best (maybe THE best) how-to video I've seen on UA-cam on ANY subject. I'm only halfway through it and I just subscribed to your channel. Nicely done!
Wow! Really appreciate the positive feedback.
Couldn't agree more about the cell phone pics.

@@SouthpawAutoworks Quick question, a number of vehicles have very light steering and give little or no feedback specially when driving in the highway. It is common knowledge that a reduction in power steering pressure can make all the difference. The question is, which possible way can be used to achieve such a feat. 1. Increase the size of the pulley. 2 Shim more the Pressure relief valve. 3. Plug (ie by welding it) the relief valve orifice and re-drill with a smaller orifice. Or is it possible to get a relief valve with a smaller orifice of the shelf? Thanking You in anticipation .
Professional how to video for free…Luv me sum UA-cam.
Millions of videos on UA-cam and you will be hard pressed to find a high quality how to video that can equal this video.
I watch how to videos every day, almost 2 decades on UA-cam and this video is one of those videos that stands at the top due to it’s production qualities.
IF you want to make a how to video, this is the PERFECT example/template

Robert:
I commend you for your courage, attitude and determination in becoming a superlative automotive technician. And you didn't stop there: you're kindly sharing your expertise and are now an excellent instructor. This video was precise, meticulous and effective in allowing the viewer to easily learn from it.
Please allow me to ask a question. I have a 2008 Infiniti G35 with a leaking PS pump which I have decided, after watching your 3-part video, to attempt to repair by replacing its 6 seals and O-rings. The pulley on this pump does not have an attaching nut on the outside and appears to be "fixed" or somehow permanently attached to the shaft. Acknowledging that you likely have no exposure to this specific PS pump, does it sound reasonable that the pulley & shaft would come out all in one piece after removing some sort of fastener inside the body assembly? Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you.

This has been one of the most thoughtful UA-cam presentations I have seen - on any subject. Thank you for the care and attention to detail that you have given. And you did it with one hand!!
Thank you for the positive feedback. A lot of time and effort went into making this video. It's a labor of love...
Part 2 has been filmed, and edited. A few more adjustments, and it'll be going live.
Most of Part 3 (final video in this series) has been filmed, and edited. Stay tuned...
@@SouthpawAutoworks I had found your UA-cam video as a result of searching for information on how I might rebuild my power steering pump, on a 1995 Toyota Camry. After finding what I felt I needed, I purchased a seal kit, and proceeded to undertake the task of removing the power steering pump. But the surprise that I got, which I was not expecting, was that the belt which drives the pump had broken (and disappeared). When I initially looked into the engine compartment I saw the belt for the air conditioner compressor and alternator, but did not realise that there should have been a second belt (for the steering pump). No wonder the power steering was not working!!! There have been some good things come from this exercise, though, because I have flushed the power steering system with new Dexron 3 fluid, and have thoroughly cleaned the inside of the power steering fluid reservoir. Maybe the pump might still benefit from a rebuild with new seals, and the car (which has over 300,000 km on the clock) might get a new lease of life.
No way... I'm glad to hear that it was a simple fix. If you do decide to open up the pump, share some video footage/pics of it.
Take care.
@@SouthpawAutoworks Southpaw auto works
You (Southpaw) suggested that if I do decide to open up the pump, that I should share some video footage/pics of it. At this stage I would like to share my experience with flushing and cleaning the power steering system. I have seen a number of UA-cam videos which showed flushing being done, but most of them involved quite a lot of spillage of power steering fluid, and also requiring very much new fluid before all of the old oil was flushed out of the system. At least one of those videos suggested the use of a turkey baster as a suction pump to remove fluid from the power steering fluid reservoir, but this was tedious with the turkey baster, and did not remove all of the oil from the reservoir, and it certainly did not withdraw oil from the steering system.
(I have inserted this paragraph after I had written the following “story”. I know that this story is a bit long, but I wanted to give details which are easy to understand.)
I did some thinking, and built a suction pump which enabled me to withdraw ALL of the power steering fluid, without spillage onto a spill tray that I had placed beneath the car. What I would like to do is explain a bit of what I did, and the advantages I have experienced with this method. First of all, my suction pump was able to withdraw all of the oil, until it was just sucking air. Secondly, I took the reservoir out of the car, and after I drained the last few drops of oil from it I could see the fine wire mesh sieve at the bottom of the reservoir. This sieve traps particles of debris from inside the steering system, and in my case this sieve had trapped a lot of debris. As I inspected this sieve in the reservoir I realised that even a lot of normal flushing would not achieve much of a result of cleaning out the debris. I partly filled the reservoir with gasoline, and with the inlet and outlet tubes blocked shut I shook the gasoline around inside the reservoir. I was surprised at how firmly the dirt was adhering to the inside of the reservoir, and how little was being washed off by the gasoline. To my way of thinking I needed to find some way to scour or scrub the inside of the plastic reservoir. I did not want to use some harsh sort of abrasive such a sand or grit which would scratch the plastic. I remembered something I had done years ago when I had needed to clean the inside of a plastic container which was more delicate than the reservoir. I got a piece of lead sheet about 1.5mm or 2mm thick, and cut some narrow strips of lead about 2mm wide. I then cut small pieces of lead, about 1mm or 1.5mm, from those strips, so that I created some small pieces of lead shot, about the size of grains of rice. I put about a small spoonful of this lead shot into the reservoir - about half of it into the inlet tube (below the sieve) and the other half into the main filler cap (above the sieve). I then quarter filled the reservoir with gasoline and repeated the shaking procedure. The results were amazing, with the sieve becoming shiny, and the inside of the plastic reservoir looking almost as good as new. The benefit of using lead shot like this is that the lead, being soft, will not scratch the plastic. Also, because the lead shot is heavy, it is much more effective as a scrubbing agent than some other lighter weight substance.
It is obviously very necessary to make sure that every last piece of lead shot is shaken out of the reservoir after the scrubbing has been done. After it had been scrubbed, I rinsed it again with fresh gasoline, and then I used compressed air to thoroughly blow out all traces of gasoline from the reservoir. There is one other very important thing to do, and that is to rinse out the inside of the reservoir with clean power steering fluid to remove any last traces of gasoline.
It then becomes a very much simpler exercise to refill the system with power steering fluid, because there is almost none of the old fluid still in the system, which could be flushed out.
And now, I could get to the vacuum pump which I built. I wonder how many people are watching this UA-cam, and reading the comments. I hope that my long story has not put anybody off. I shall keep watching to see whether anyone adds a comment, asking for me to give details of my vacuum pump design. If anybody asks, I shall be happy to write another story about how I built an amazingly effective pump from very simple materials. I built mine entirely from things I had in my workshop, so I suppose that you could say it cost me almost nothing, other than the time it took to build it.
I would like to add a postscript, saying that I do not know how to attach photographs to this comments section. I would be more than happy to add photos if I know how to do it.
What a great method to clean hard-to-reach places, like this inside of the pump reservoir...and specifically, a metal screen that's partially plugged/blocked by contaminants.
I am interested in seeing your pictures. I'm also interested in learning more about your homemade vacuum pump.
Sharing Your Pics:
1) Instagram is a great way to share pics. southpaw_autoworks
2) If you want to share pics on UA-cam, you would need to create a video, of your pics....like a slideshow.
A guy could use a number of video-editing programs to accomplish this. There are free versions for both PC & Mac: Windows Movie Maker (PC) and iMovie (Mac). Also, I believe that Microsoft Powerpoint might work, for this instance, too. I posted some resources below. Gotta love UA-cam...

Thanks bud, tackled this job today but found nothing outwardly wrong with pump, no play in shaft bearing so left intact, but wondered if even a small amount would let the vanes rub internally? tightening the belt afterwards I went for a slightly higher tension than I normally do, this stopped the awful screeching but I find it difficult to believe a rubber belt being loose would make such a noise, cheers
Congrats on getting it taken care of.
Done so well video quality is damn good too 🙏🏻✊

@@SouthpawAutoworks LOL , I find it relaxing to watch , it is one of the very few channels that i actually feel better after watching , the parts where he does the inner fender well repair in stop motion are amazing especially the welding and grinding , That guy works harder than all of us lol
The welding stood out to me, too. Really creative. He must put a ton of hours into his videos.
Super

Hello, i just rebuild a ZF from a Mercedes w163 ML320 however the pump is working great when cruising but turns hard when stopped, could be the position of the vanes? Or air in the system ? When i mounted it was working properly and just stopped working properly when stationary
Do you know if a 2005 GMC Yukon power steering pump is rebuildable? It is not leaking, it simply stopped working good at low RPMs (below 800rpms, like at stop lights. It works fine while driving at rpms above idle/800rpm.
Thanks!
Now I wish I could find a rebuild kit for my mercedes vito!
Hope you can track down a kit.

Am a steering engineer by profession I work and repair all kinds of steering pump and racks for all kinds of cars..
Right on!
Thanks Man, exactly what I needed!!! By the way, my 95 honda accord power steeting pump is making a noise when I start the engine(normaly that inicial noise tends to down after minutes) and when I move the steering to the right or left I feel that it is stiff. Can the vanes be worn with the using time or the bearing be bad?
I'm not sure...
A bad bearing will definitely make noise. However, I'm thinking that the noise will not go away after a few minutes.
If the pump is sucking in air, it'll be pretty noisy. Power steering fluid is temperature sensitive. It shrinks when it's cold, and grows as it heats up.
Have you checked the fluid level?
Is the pump leaking? Air can get sucked into the pump through leaking O-rings, gaskets, etc.
@@SouthpawAutoworks Thanks!

Awesome!
i can do this with my sons 2012 Xterra? about to take out radiator, trans cooler, power steering, and ac pump
The pump in the video is out of a '97 Honda Accord. However, the principles shared in this video, can be applied to just about any power steering pump.
Wishing you the best on your Xterra pump!
Hey great vid. I'm not a mechanic just trying to figure out why my new powersteering pump is whining. It was rebuilt by mercedes (or someone paid by mercedes). Would a defective pump whine even when there is no air in the system?
You bet! Thanks for dropping me a line!

Is the valve spring there to regulate the pressure? Does it get weak over time?
To the best of my knowledge, yes...it is used to regulate the oil pressure.
Anything is possible. However, I imagine that a weak spring is not a common issue. Don't let me stop you from trying.
How does you camera focus so fast and precise? what kinda gear do you use?
Here's list of the gear that I used for this video. There may be some substitutes listed. However, the camera, listed below, is the same one. They no longer sell them brand new...only used. Still a great camera, in 2023.
Camera mileage: Supposedly the camera is good for roughly 200,000 shutter actuations. Something to keep in mind when buying used.

Hi, I opened a nissan maxima 2003 power steering pump but It doesnt have any sign on the rotor body, the roror sides are the same without any sign! Is it possible to mount it either sides?
I don't know...
My pump only has one dot in one side and no dot in the other side, What is the right way to assembly? Thank you for this friendly video for apprentices like me.
Thank you for the positive comment.
Questions:
1). What vehicle (year/make/model) did the pump come out of?
2). Regarding the dots, are we talking about dots located on the pump slide, or the pump rotor?
Note: The pump rotor is the part that spins, and it holds the pump vanes. The pump slide encompasses the rotor and vanes....and it is held stationary by two dowel pins.
@@SouthpawAutoworks It is a MB Class C W204, 2011, Motor code M271.820. The only dot is in the slide and it is a Bosch K S00 000 669 G Pump .Thank you for your kindly answer-
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the vehicle that you're working on. I did do a Google search, but didn't find any rebuild info on that power steering pump. As this video notes, it's important to look for these dots (or other similar signs) during pump disassembly, and equally important to take good notes/pictures. It makes reassembly very straight-forward. However, I understand that these things can be easily overlooked...especially when the parts are covered in oil/grime.
I need to correct myself. In the last comment I referred to a pump rotor, and a pump slide...I meant to say pump rotor and pump "cam ring".
Questions:
1). Is the cam ring, in your Mercedes-Benz pump, aligned with dowel pins? If so, are they the same length and thickness?
2). Is it physically possible, on your particular pump, to install the cam ring in more than one orientation?
thanks, upload the 2nd part of the video
Thanks for watching, and leaving a comment. There's a part 2 and 3 in the works. Hit the notification bell, so you don't miss it when they do get posted.
Take care.
Part 2 and 3 are now complete:

Can this process work for 90s Toyota ps pumps?
I've never been inside a Toyota power steering pump......so, I don't know.
I think my mechanic made a huge mistake putting back the pieces together, now my pump is not pumping, i should show him this video, or just diy, subd!
That's a real bummer.
Thanks for dropping me a line. Welcome aboard!

Land Cruiser 80 series power steering pump disassembly.....?
If I had one handy, then Yes.
Stupid Q.
My pump is just starting to fail, It works for a while then dies after 10 or 15 minutes. But everything looks good, no leaks no wabble on the shaft, seals are good.
My question is what does that spring & piston do because the rebuild kit doesn't come with a new spring. Could a weakening spring cause power steering to fail?
To the best of my knowledge, the Flow Control Valve is used to regulate the oil pressure that the pump creates. In that case, if the spring was getting weak, yes, it would lead to lower than normal oil pressures.
Have you already gone through your pump?
Did you disassemble the Flow Control Valve?
@@SouthpawAutoworks no, I have 3 other vehicles to drive so this truck got parked last week and I haven't got a chance to do anything but pop the hood and do a visual on the pump, hoses, knuckle, and of course fluid levels.
I'll probably end up replacing the pump as it's life will end up being my camp truck in northern Michigan, but it just seemed odd to me that a rebuild kit wouldn't contain a new spring and there's nearly zero info online for what the spring and valve do, which is really odd because Ford alone put about a million of these pumps on the road every year for about 20 years, and the other auto makers have similar design.
Hi bro, good day to you. My pump from 95 accord is exactly same as yours. I dismantled the shaft from the housing yesterday. About the vanes, cam ring, rotor and plates. I know they can be removed from the housing as a whole with all the vanes still in the rotor, which is what I did. Is it necessary to unassemble these parts (vanes, rotor, cam ring)? If yes, for what purpose?
For starters, I'm always concerned about contamination.
Whenever a pump is opened up, it's possible for dirt/debris to make its way into the pump. Debris can scar rotating parts, plug orifices, etc...all of which can introduce new problems into the equation. So, I like to clean things up, in order to minimize this potential headache.
In this instance, I have found it easiest to remove the shaft seal, after all of the pump guts have been removed. With that stuff outta the way, it's easy access with a screw driver/hammer.
But, hey, there's more than one (1) way to get things done. I imagine that there's a seal puller that can gain access to the seal, from the exterior (after shaft/bearing is out of the way).
I hope my response is helpful.
Your interest in this topic is appreciated.
Thanks for subscribing, and for dropping me a line.
@@SouthpawAutoworks its about dirt/debris getting in. Got it. I understand all you showed about the vanes. Does it matter which slot in the rotor it is put back into after it is removed? Thank you bro.
I do not keep track of that particular detail.
@@SouthpawAutoworks bro, noted. Today all the vanes fell off from the rotor by accident. I know the round edge should face out when I re assemble it. The vane sides that go into the rotor, can go in facing left or right in the slot. Will this cause a problem if I mixed it up? Is there a way to know which side goes in left or right?
A way to know which side...
Yes, by looking at the wear marks (Also known as "witness marks") on the sides of the vanes.
I did something I may have never done in my life. I checked the information section of your channel but I didn't find an answer for my curiosity... for... how did you lose your arm? A work accident? I do understand if you don't want to tell what happened.

Show off, did it all one handed
Haha
Can I send you a pump to have you rebuild it?
Unfortunately, I don't do that sort of thing.
Really appreciate your interest in that.
@@SouthpawAutoworks thank you anyways
You bet.
Hi bro, can I use a rubber mallet to hit the shaft out and later in without using a brass rod?
I don't see why not...as long as the mallet has some weight to it.
Some rubber mallets don't weigh very much. Might need something heavier, like a traditional hammer. Naturally, metal on metal will damage the shaft. But, a piece of wood can act as a buffer...transferring the energy of the hammer to the shaft, while simultaneously protecting the shaft from marring.
Hope that helps.
@@SouthpawAutoworks noted guru. Thank you
I don't want that title...too much pressure. ha
I'm all about low expectations. ;)

I think cast iron and steel engine parts should be brought back and produced again. This car manufacturers are taking customers for a ride with low quality mix metals junk compound parts that breaks under rotational mechanic stress and force. Cast iron and steel rather band or change shape than break like this devalued aluminum foil products mixed with vanadium and chrome. Cars spent lot of time buying new parts that were meant to last a lifetime. It's nonsensical the collum of auto parts makers and car manufacturers.
The quality of metals (or lack thereof) has def caused many issues.
