- How to remove and replace the power steering pump on a 1997 Toyota Camry in excruciating detail (as usual). Includes a primer on wheel pulling for the removal of the pulley.
This was a rather difficult job. I recommend having your mechanic do it if you have the money. Otherwise, join me as I walk you through the process.
ASE Certified Tech here, done MANY of these. Some tips for you all, I use a 15/16, or 24mm LONG socket with a long extension from the top and use an impact gun on it, it busts it off very easily and no stripped knuckles from using wrenches on it! Secondly the big feed hose which this guy here put a towel in it is sold by the foot at parts stores, do yourselves a BIG favor and replace that, won't cost you much at all, lastly, before "I" do one of these I remove splash cover and take the vehicle to the car wash, turn the wheel all the way to the left, and put a jack to slightly lift car and expose all that area, hit it with high pressure soap, makes the job MUCH cleaner to work on, hope that helps someone out there, happy wrenching 😉
Thank you for that incredibly useful comment. You are the kind of viewer that makes UA-cam rock. Happy wrenching to you, too.
I want to thank you for uploading this. I replaced the PS pump in a '98 Camry V6 using your video as a guide. For those replacing theirs, you only need to remove the hoses (an electrical connection must be removed from the top one), the top pivot bolt, and the bolt that allows the pump to slide (Toyota calls this the adjuster bolt). Nothing else needs to be removed to get the pump out. Once you remove the slide bolt, you can pivot the pump, remove the belt, and use a socket to reach the top pivot bolt and make it very loose to release the pump. The other bolts and brackets come off once the pump is out. It is much easier if you only remove the slide bolt and loosen the top pivot bolt. I spent a lot of time undoing the other bolts and it was unnecessary. The hardest part for me was getting the top bolt off the banjo bolt because the nut (which is attached to the pump) between the banjo bolt and the pump came loose. I had to use two 24mm open end wrenches pushing/pulling in opposite directions to break the top bolt loose. Hope this helps some save time. Correction: I wasn't able to break the banjo bolt (union bolt per Toyota) free with the two 24mm wrenches. I had to use a large adjustable wrench on the nut under the pressure feed tube and jam it against something to prevent the nut from turning, then I used a long 24mm socket on the top (union bolt). I was able to reach down to the top of the socket with a flex head socket wrench.
Thank you for taking the time to offer that practical advice for other viewers. You are what make UA-cam great. Happy Motoring!

You did good job showing how to do in every step much help. I have 94 Lexus 300 and everyone turns there head and not help me or hate the car. I had to do a lot on my own to fix it.
I'm so glad you were able to fix it yourself. Thank you for commenting.
A most excellent period of instruction. My son and I are replacing the power steering pump and, it is of the same configuration. Thank you, Joe!
You are most welcome. Thank you for the kind comment. Best of luck to you and your son as you replace the pump. I've done quite a bit of car work with my sons and it's a great way to bond and spread the misery a little bit. lol
I want to thank Joe for all the work he put into making this video. I managed to change the Power Steering Pump in my 1998 Camry in 2 hours, thanks to the detailed video work Joe did. Pep Boys quoted me $532 for parts and labor, and Auto Zone sold me a remanufactured pump for $100.
+Steve Lisowe Always good to hear a success story. Way to be awesome and save lots of money at the same time.
@@FloridaJoe3 I agree with Steve Lisowe. Thanks for posting the video. Heck, just making a repair like this is stressful enough for those of us with no garage and winter rainy or snowy weather to contend with. You did a pretty darn good job of filming in tight spaces too. Well explained how the process works too.
@@mlasch1478 Thank you so much. I needed some encouragement about now. It'll be much easier to get out that camera next time I do something thanks to you! All the best to you.
@@FloridaJoe3 Glad I could help a brother out. Thanks for letting me know that my words benefited you as well.
I just bought power steering pump and I will replace tomorrow .My Toyota Camry I bought 20 years ago have now 448.000 miles and I like it.
Wow! You're gonna get half a million miles outta that thing. They're truly great cars (especially if you take care of them).
@@FloridaJoe3 Pump comes with 2 o rings small and bigger.Where the bigger goes?
Excellent video, I've seen it multiple times in order to replace the my car power steering pump, I've been struggling two days with that job...Thanks.
I hope it all works out well for you. You're getting good experience and it will be easier next time. Happy motoring!
I just changed out my leaking power steering pump today on my 2000 Camry, and this video was a big help to me. You definitely were correct in (3) hours time required from the start of the job to finish.
So glad the video was helpful. It's great to save money and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.😃
I just replaced the power steering pump and serpentine belt on a 2003 Camry. No problems and everything is working smoothly and no leaks. Your video was incredibly useful. Thanks for posting it. BTW, you're right on that very last comment, "This is a good one to have someone else to do if you can afford it." The big pain was accessibility of the bolts holding the the pump in place. If it weren't for that issue, this would be an easy 30 min job.
I'm so glad you found the video useful. Sounds like everything went well. There is something about these hard jobs that gives you a real sense of accomplishment.
Just want to say this was a great video. The small details are what really helps on these jobs that are hard to reach and hidden
Thank you for the kind comment, Rob. Hope everything went well with your repair.
..."but i wouldn't recommend doing it , this is a good one to hire someone else to do it" ...well said ! ..cause that`s what i was thinking watching you go through the whole process . Great Video , very well filmed , EXCELLENT JOB JOE .
Thank you for the kind comment. Hope you get your steering sorted out. Happy motoring.
@@FloridaJoe3 faalra
Got to replace the power steering pump on my wifes 98 es300 lexus. Your vid showed me what i needed to do and it doesnt look too bad but need to definately take my time
Glad the video was useful. Good luck with it.
Hello Joe 1997 Camery power steering pump change, EXACTLY WHAT IM ABOUT TO DO on my 2000 Sienna CE. Same type leaks exact same pump, hoses, and reservoir. You helped in several ways in the detail of how to do it. It's exactly like my Sienna, and exactly what hoped to find. I spray washed off all the oil and grease. HATE working with GREASE.
Thanks for the video, it was Righteous!
Hello Craig. Thanks for the kind comments. I'm so glad you found the video helpful and took the time to say so.
I watched your video after watching one made by someone else and having the pump 2/3 of the way out. Your process is a lot smarter taking the hoses and sensor off before removing the bolts. I got everything off but the giant bolt holding on the high pressure hose. Your video was awesome!
+Thomas Gould Thank you for the kind comment and thanks for watching. I hope you were able to get everything fixed and back together well. Happy Motoring!
Good tutorial over all but here are a couple of things I have learned on my 1996 Toyota Avalon as well as other cars I have owned. If possible de-grease everything as much as you can before starting the removal process, it will give you a much cleaner work area and also allow you to and access the entire area and make sure you aren't also getting fluid leaking from other places. I also find it easier to reassemble clean parts, nuts and bolts. I try to wear gloves but sometimes you need to feel nuts or bolts to get them undone. They also make rubber gloves that won't deteriorate with oils and slovents.
And if you are working on a car with some advanced years and miles on it you should really consider replacing the rubber hoses that connect to the pump and also the steering fluid reservoir. Hoses often are very deteriorated on the inside and there can be a lot of crud in the old hoses and the bottom of the reservoir that will just end up getting into the new pump and causing it to fail. Be sure to flush the entire system. Flushing isn't fun as you usually need to fill the system with fresh fluid, purge the air and run it a bit and then drain it all again and refill, sometimes 2-3 times to ensure you have flushed old fluid and sludge from the steering gear box and rack. After you are all done degrease the area again, the fluid is not good for rubber parts or pain on the frame.
+Chris Summers Wow! You definitely win comment of the month with that one. All very good advice. Thank you for taking the time to add these bits of wisdom. Happy Motoring!BTW - I want to buy all my used cars from guys like you.
preach it brother
What are the hoses called that connect from the reservoir to the pump?
Good job, very informative. I want to know how you made the pulley disappear and re-appear
Well done, I think you saved alot of people quite a few hours work. Thankyou. To find my leak I degreased all under that part of the vehicle, washed it off, allowed to dry then ran vehicle for few minutes, found leak coming from gasket that joins the two halves of the pump together plus where the hose from bottom of reservoir connects to pump it leaks from that fitting on the pump, stuffed oring I guess. Going to try for gasket kit. Pumps like this in Australia are around the $300 + mark because here in Australia we're all apparently rich miners
Thank you for watching. Good luck with the repair.
Joe, great video and very informative, better than most I have seen. I am going to follow your advice and have a shop do the work . Just some notes for those who do the work themselves. You advise checking where the leak is coming from, yours was from a hose I believe and not the pump. You've posted below how to determine that. Someone has also posted torque specs below. It is not recommended to re-use a copper crush washer. It is probably better to use new ones, but the old ones can be annealed. Probably not crucially important, but after going to the trouble of doing all of that work, just a couple small things to ensure the DIYer of success. Best of luck to you and all those here, especially those who undertake the repair.
+Da Lab Thank you for the excellent and thorough comment. Good advice all around. And thanks for watching.
Thanks for the best video out there on this subject. I'm in the middle of removing the pump, and I believe you are correct: Hiring this job out makes sense. One FYI: the hardware you refer to as a "Ring bolt" is in my experience known as a "Banjo bolt."
John Sullivan Thank you for the kind words and supplemental info. Hope it all goes back together well for you. Happy motoring!
Brother Joe, After watching your video and hearing you say you would advise taking this job to a shop. I really think you vocalize making the job out to be harder than it actually was. For folks with a decent amount of mechanical repairs under their belts, this seems pretty simple. I am speaking from the standpoint of having replaced V8 Heads on old Ford Trucks, to clutch jobs on Ford Manual Trans 4x4's and AT swaps on V8 C4 transmission trucks or clutches on 70's Datsuns etc etc. Your video was a thorough presentation on this not too complex job. Great Instructional, Joe.
Thank you for the kind comment. It sound like YOU should be making the videos and I should be watching them. You've got some good experience under your belt.
Great job, definitely a PIA to get that pump out, I'm just did mine on a 99 avalon...same exact setup
So glad you were able to do it yourself. You saved a pile of money I'm sure. 💰
Thanks so much for this video. I actually have a '96 Celica, but I've been looking all night for a clear video on tightening the power steering belt (mine was squealing). This was the ONLY video that made it clear to see and understand. I owe you many many beers.
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm so glad you found it helpful. Happy Motoring!
@dirkfunk7031 Man i know u probly wont see this but if u do im about to buy a 96 toyota celica if i can fix the power steering pump i was wondering if u could elaborate if its the same
@@zionpittman1726 Hey dude. It wasn't the pump that was the issue on mine, it was that the belt wasn't tight enough, so it just needed the tension adjusting. The symptoms were that when the engine was cold and I needed to turn sharply, it would squeek and it was hard to turn, and also going through big puddles would causes squeeking for a while
Joe, use dexron 3 ATF for power steering fluid. That's what Toyota calls for, regular power steering fluid will cause early failures in the system.
I bought a 97 Camry that had fluid in the tie rod boots, after flushing and replacing with ATF the system is leak free and performing as it should. Before when the regular power steering fluid was in it I thought I had to replace the pump and the rack but the problem was the fluid.
Thank you for that excellent comment. Very useful information.
Awesome video!!! Took me about an hour to remove, and hour to rebuild and an hour to put back on. This job was a pain to say the least. Maybe not the worst job I've ever done, but pretty close. If you could get this done at a shop for under $500 with parts, I'd say let em have it.
Thank you for the positive feedback. Glad to hear you got it done (and had the satisfaction of doing it yourself).
Thanks for the informative video. Our 2005 Avalon is leaking PS fluid and seems to be getting worse. It leaked before and we had our mechanic look at it. He said the rack was leaking and replaced that and was going to look at the pump. When it came back it was ok then a year later it started leaking again. Now's my turn to work on it as I love working on cars. Thanks again and keep 'em coming.
Thank you for the comment. I hope that pump replacement solves the problem. Good luck!
Thank you very much. I have to do my wife's power steering pump soon and this was very helpful. Thank you for the close up videos. I now know what I'll be getting myself into.
Thank you for the kind comment and good luck with your replacement.
Thx again did my pump today also did my valve cover gasket and heater core. Long day over twelve hours had some troubles but got it in the end
Wow! You've been busy. I hope it all went well.
Joe as others, thanks for the video, need to try this too on my 96 avalon and should be same. Only thing is, if you look at cap on power steering reservoir it says use ATF ii or iii meaning automatic transmission fluid, and new part came in was also atf fluid. Just in case, should change it out when you get a chance.
Thank you for mentioning that. Other viewers have noticed as well. I sold the car to a mechanic fairly soon after that job. I'm sure it's in good hands now. Good luck with your R&R.
Thanks for this video. Came in handy yesterday when my power steering pump started pouring oil on the ground. This was my first ps pump replacement job. One note that for me was much easier to get the top bolts out {with top house} from the top. First removed the sensor connector and than I think 19mm and 23mm sockets to remove the bangio bolt. Everything else was same. 99 Camry. Thanks
Thank you for that comment. I'm sure it will be useful to other viewers. Happy Motoring!
Great instructional video. Got a lexus power steering pump I'm working on, but very similar arrangement. Your camera angles and narration are first rate.
Thanks for the good feedback. Glad I could help.
They wanted $ 700 to replace this pump. Your doing a service to everyone that see's this video. I need to replace one for a relative tomorrow. Thanks for your time and effort in making this VID. Your a real trooper!! thumbs UP Regards sgrunt
Thank you for the kind words. I don't know if I love any of my relatives enough to replace their steering pump (maybe a brake job but not a nasty steering pump). YOU, sir, are the trooper. Good luck with it.
Are you kidding me? $700 bucks! Don't believe I'd do business there
Well an up-date on the power steering pump. This was my brother-in-laws daughters car. I had him bring it over to my house for a look and see ! The power steering pump wasn't even leaking! The rack & pinion was leaking out of the steering column shaft seal. We both changed that out in about four hours & a new $120 rack & pinion. Not a fun thing to change but we did it. I told him to pressure wash it real good before we worked on it. Still a dirty job but not near as bad as it would have been! Can you imagine a dealer doing this and change the pump and then tell you your rack & pinion was leaking also. That will be another seven or so hundred dollars! I don't know if they even looked at the car or just quoted them a price on the replacement. Well we got a little dirty and saved a lot of $$$$. Doing it are selves. I purchased the rack on line and had it sent to the house. We had it in a week! Sgrunt
Rack & pinion was leaking, Not the Pump! Got it replaced in around four hours in about 85 degree weather. I hadn't looked at it YET when I wrote my comment. Evidently that's what a dealer quoted them. And didn't look at it either. As the power steering pump wasn't even leaking! Sgrunt

Very Nice work on this video. I learned a great deal of information that I would have spent hours learning the hard way on my back under the car. You have made working on this much easier for an old man. Thanks.
hotdrippyglass Glad to be of service. Thanks for watching.
Working on the same problem I am glad I came across ur video I didn’t know the brackets and fan need to come off to when replacing the pump. Thank you this video is a big help for me. I am confident in replacing this pump now.
I'm so glad you found the video useful. Thank you for commenting.
Thank you for your video. Yes I agree, If I can afford to hire someone to do it would be a lot less of a headache and peace over all. I wished I watched this video before I started.
Thank you for the kind comment. Happy motoring!
Good Job, been working on these klunkers for years. Only thing I might add is if you have aluminum wheels you might want to use a torque wrench for the wheel lugs or just a racheting wrench. Impact guns can distort alum rims, also keep in mind if you have a flat the impact gun may cause you to rupture some part of your reproductive system trying to loosen the lug nuts
Thank you for that comment. I had never considered what the impact wrench is doing to my wheels. I don't really tighten it gorilla tight. I just tap the trigger on each lug at the end. A torque wrench is always the better solution. I just love using an impact wrench (I suspect most guys do).
+FloridaJoe3 without air tools we couldn't afford to have our cars worked on. If you want to use them on your alum rims they make these color coded torque sockets for your impact gun. BTW, you can buy a kit to reseal your power steering pump for 15 bucks or so
Wow! I've never heard of torque sockets. That is so cool. Definitely adding it to my wish list.
I didn't really consider a rebuild/reseal kit for my power steering pump. Now that you mention it, though, I still think I'm too lazy to forego the ready-made pump. Thanks for the comment.
My daughter's '09 toyota camry needs a new power steering pump and after watching your video I've made up my mind to do it. Yep, I'm gonna' let a pro do it. No need for me to get all contorted under that thing at my age(69) and hurt something that don't need hurting. Good video Joe.....keep it up young man.
You have chosen wisely, sir. I hope all goes well.
Meant to add: Thanks for the Great video. Believe it or not, I own four of these cars 97-01 4cyl camrys, and have had four others in the past. These cars are worth fixing, but everything wears out eventually.
Talk about brand loyalty. Certainly well-placed loyalty though. Camry's are truly great cars.
Perfect! Exactly what I needed which I could not get from other videos. Your detail is perfect. Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching. Sorry it took so long to reply. Do you still have the car? How'd it go?
My husband and son fixed this issue but unfortunately, the car died of other causes. :) Be well!
great detailed video man .. my gf 97 avalon was squeaking too,instantly I knew it had to be the PS , so I checked he fluid and noticed it was really.low ...I filled it up , a week later It starts squeeking again , I've refilled it 4 times now and ebery time it's shorter period then the time before so today I lift the car up and saw a tiny puddle of fluid exactly at the same spot as you and exactly 4 drips on the frame dripping from.the same exact spot as yours lol ..will be changing the pump this weekend , this video will truly help me be easier instead of just going to do it with out watching ..thanks alot !
Sorry about the leak. But glad you will find the video helpful. Good luck with your replacement.
Great video Joe. I was able to follow your video almost to a T. I know some of those nuts are hard to show in such a crammed area. But wonderful video and thank you so much for posting!
Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for watching. Happy motoring!
Thank you for this video. You're going to save me a lot of money now that I know how to do this myself. a
I've got a '95 Avalon, 250,000 miles, that leaks power steering fluid and needs a new alternator. Fortunately the alternator looks much easier to replace than this.
I still need to pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from. But I'm going to replace the old hoses as well and check the reservoir for leaks so as to cover all my bases and not have to do this job twice.
Thanks again!
Thank you for the comment and I hope your repair goes well. Your approach sounds like you're covering all the bases. BTW, I have a video on replacing the alternator if you're interested.
FloridaJoe3
I'll check out the alternator video as well, thanks!
Thanks for helping me today, Joe. Not a quick job but this was very helpful.
So glad you found it helpful. Happy motoring!
Thank you. Excellent excellent video. I have a 1995 Camry and the reservoir stays empty. I have to check and see if the leak is coming from the pump. The hose was changed four months ago.
Thank you for the kind comment and good luck with your repair.
The fitting you used a 15/16" wrench on, the circle fitting with a hollow bolt going through it, it's called a banjo fitting. Common on old diesel engines and many other machines. Good video - I watched to see where the mounting bolts were on the pump. Cheers.
Thank you for the extra info. Very interesting. And thanks for watching! Happy motoring!
Hey Joe, looked up how to fix my daughter's Toyota power steering pump on UA-cam and started your video and thought, "That guy looks familiar." We went to Christ Community Church before we moved to NC. Thanks for the video, it helped. I first tried to flush the pump out add conditioner. That worked so I didn't replace the PS pump. Thankfully, because it did not look fun.
David Poole
+David Poole Hey David, glad the video was helpful. It is not a fun job. Thanks for watching. We miss you around here.
What kind of conditioner? Brand? I have a leak too.
All the way from Canada)(Jamaican) you teach me alot how to change my power steering pump
So glad I could help. Hope your repair goes well.
Thanks for this great detailed video, Joe. I feel very confident that I can change my own power steering pump now.
+Ryan B. You totally can. Allow yourself plenty of time, get the right tools, and just step through it. Good luck.
Did you 'simulate' the pulley removal part at 8:06? In the video, it looks like the shallow side of the pulley is facing away before you removed it, and you installed the pulley shallow-side out on the new pump, but when you are removing the old pump with the gear-puller, it looks like its deep side-out...
OK, you caught me. 8:06 was a re-enactment. I put the pulley back on to show you how I got it off with the puller. To get the real scoop, we go back to 1:26 and see how the thing was shallow out to begin with and that's how it should be at the end. Thanks for watching (so closely)!
I had a crazy leak too, just that i only noticed fluid coming from below where the hoses enter the resevoir. So, I replaced the resovoir.
No more leaks. I am not suggesting that is what you needed to do, as you showed us where your leak was coming from.
BTW, there are TWO (2) Min/Max line sets; one for Hot (the high set, the ones you used, accidentally) and the ones for COLD.
Very good video. Only comment is that better lighting would make it flawless.
I have since gotten a Ryobi 1+ work light and use it all the time. Thank you for the comment.
Just FYI: The fluid drained was clear which indicates that the wrong fluid was used. It takes Dexron II or III ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) which is red, NOT the stuff from the auto parts stores marked 'Power Steering Fluid'. You may also be able to use the newer synthetic fluids but when I changed mine I just went with the ATF as recommended on the filler cap, the owner's manual and the Chilton manual.
Look on your power steering reservoir cap for details.
Thank you for that useful comment. Others have also mentioned that same thing. I hope no one is misled by my having the wrong fluid in mine. Happy Motoring!
i have a 99 camry le and it says use dexron type atf . so is it the 2 or 3? also i csnt find that type anywhere!
Thank you. That was very helpful and good detail each step of the way. Gives me confidence I can do it.
I hope all goes well for you. Good luck!
Thank you! Great tutorial and detail. Got the job done in 2 hours thanks to you! :-)
Thank you for the kind comment. Happy Motoring!
Thank you sir, very good and informative video. I love the way you are articulated. Great work.
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad you found the video useful.
That connector that you used the 15/16 in is actually a 24 mm metric that will save the skinned knuckle by using a 24 mm deep well socket.
Lincoln Miller Thanks for the detail. I think I must have been too lazy to run into town for the socket.
Yeah, I got it from the top useing a long 24mm socket , a uni and 12"extension. Much easier than a wrench underneath. Great, informative video thanks
Great video tutorial. However, the holes in the PS pulley are actually access holes for the mounting bolts. So not necessary to insert bolts prior to pulley installation.
Thank you for the comment. I didn't think about the bolt access holes. Thanks for mentioning that. Hopefully will save some of our viewers some time. Happy Motoring!
Thanks, Joe! ... it only took me 7 Hours... might have taken longer without you! ....What can I say!!!??? I'm a lousy mechanic!
Seven hours sounds great to me. Good job! Happy motoring!
You're not a lousy mechanic if you completed the job. Who cares how long it took, at least you know you did it and did not have to pay hundreds for someone else to do it
Very good video, especially since my '96 Camry is now 25 years old! One thing though, when I replace my pump intend to replace both belts and hoses, just as a matter of course. I only want to get in there once.
Great idea to get new belts at the same time. Thanks for commenting.
Great in depth video! Thanks for the great video :)! Changing mine this week :)
Hope it all went well. Happy Motoring!
Your video is very informative. Now I think I'm ready. I just hope it's the same with my Toyota Rav-4. Thanks.
Successful!
@@platinummind1697 Glad to hear it! Happy motoring!
I just replaced the power steering pump on a Camry that was drinking a lot of ATF fluid. I must advise everyone......if you don't have the proper tools, then do not attempt it.
First of all, the pump is wedged in a place that is extremely hard to get to. One hose is fairly easy to access but again I must warn you that it may be stuck on to the flange!
The top bolt (not the 24mm one) is also extremely difficult to access if you have the wrong tools. Another thing is trying to loosen the 24mm bolt while the pump is mounted to the car. Is it possilbe......maybe but it is on tight and you would definately need the right size and angle wrench to avoid busted knuckles like Florida Joe.
So I did something differently. I got everything off the pump except that huge bolt. Then I manage to twist and turn the pump downwards and used an impact gun which took 3 short seconds.
Would I attempt this job again? Yes! Definitely! But only with the right tools.
If anyone needs any help........let me know.
+msbeboo1 Thank you for that detailed comment. It is never fun to do a job without the right tools and the joys of an air impact wrench are nearly inexpressible. Sadly some people are limited in their tools and are compelled by circumstances to tackle these kinds of jobs on their own. God bless 'em. It's just gonna be harder and take longer but it can still be done.
great video, just about to do this job myself. you might wanna put atf in your power steering system instead of power steering fluid. I know my car calls for atf and putting regular power steering fluid in it can mess it up. thanks for posting the vid!
+Robert Purdy Thank you for the additional information and for the positive feedback.
comparing 8:11 to 11:55 - I think you flipped the pulley and installed it inside out. I haven't done mine yet butwill probably get to it tomorrow, thanks for the details
Yes, it's been awhile since I made the video but I think I went back and re-enacted a scene to explain some other details. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks so much for uploading this. I'm about to do the same on my 97 camry made possible by you!
You're certainly welcome and I wish you the best of luck on your repair.
You installed the pulley backwards. The shallow side goes towards the pump, and the side that has the notched circle in the middle always goes outward. The notched circle is there for the pulley removal tool.
Thank you for that clarification. That will be helpful for other viewers.
@@FloridaJoe3 also, you shouldn't be using a jaw puller to remove those pulleys because they will often crack the edge of the pulley.
@@MrRightNow I hadn't thought of that since I've never experienced it. What kind of puller should one use in this case?
Thank you so much for this video. I have the same car same pump that I'm going to replace. I don't think I would of known what to do if it wasn't for this informative video.
Thank you for the kind comment. Good luck with your replacement. I hope it goes well.
Great video! Just like you, I purchased the PS pump from Autozone. Question, did you ever figure out where the "o" rings go? I received 3 "o" rings and 2 crush washers. I could see where the medium size "o" ring needs to go, as well as the crush washers (for the banjo bolt). Where do the other 2 "o" rings go? Thanks!
+Teufel Hunden (MMXIV) It's been awhile since I did this replacement. I can only say inspect all of the hoses and where they attach and look for where those other 2 "o" rings go. They may be extra or something. Good luck with it!
Thank you for making this video. Very well done.
Thank you for the kind comment. I hope that your repair goes well.
Nice video. Aren't those Toyota's supposed to use ATF for fluid?
I believe you're right. It's always best to check the filler cap for instructions or the shop manual (or google). Thank you for the question.
Thank you very much. Excellent tutorial.
Thank you for the kind comment. I'm glad it helped.
Hey dude, nice video. Very good explanation highlighting the tough areas and the work around for said areas. You know down here in Florida, with access to rock auto in Miami, it's kind of hard not to do the project yourself.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Happy motoring!
Great video bro really helped me out in a pinch
Glad to help. Happy motoring!
awesome video and good info, i have a question, can the pully go on the pump last?
Hello Peter, thanks for the kind comment. I'm not sure what you're asking about the pulley but I don't think it matters what order you reassemble it.
YOU WILL BE BLESSED BUY THE LORD ,CUZ YOU JUST SAVE ME A BUNCH OF MONEY.short story__i spent 2days to figure out how to replace steering. pump& back hoses on wife 97 lexus es 300 still not could get it after bunch hand fingers bruses. .option was take it to the shop..BUT AFTER WATCHING YOUR VIDEO I SURE DO I CAN DO IT MY SELF.NO DOUBT. THANKS THANKS!!!
+Tico Angervil Way to stick with it Tico. I'm sure you can do it. Thank you for the comment and the blessing. Happy motoring!
thank you my dude hope u kept making this great videos....G.B.Y
Thank you for the kind comment. I can't wait to start making repair videos again. Unfortunately, I'm without a garage/shop at the moment. Hope to remedy that soon. Happy motoring!
Thanks for the details 👍🏽
It looks like your fluid was clear. I think the engine here is the same as mine (a 2000 Gen. 4 2.2L) which takes Dexron II or III ATF fluid. It's red. Check your fluid reservoir cap. Another thing is, you could drain the fluid (most of it) by suctioning it from the reservoir before draining it out the hose near the pump.
Good comment. We've had several folks point out the fluid issue and appreciate the clarification. Never thought of suctioning out the fluid. I'm sure I'd make a mess either way. Thanks for the comment. Happy motoring!
Great video. Would like to add some torque specs for others. Pump Pully, Front & rear Brackets should be torqued to 32 FT LBS. The Pressure Union Bolt is 38 FT LBS. Suction Port Union is 9 FT LBS. These specs are from the 6cy not sure if different on a 4cy.
JuliaDevan Thanks for the added detail and thanks for watching. Happy Motoring!
Nice video, Joe. But at 16:23-16:43, you say you're going to re-use the connected copper ring washers you took off the old pump. I've always heard that they are "crush washers" which are to be compressed to provide a tight seal and so shouldn't be re-used.
That is correct. I can't remember whether they were provided. If they were I most likely used them. Thank you for the clarification. That'll be helpful to other viewers.
Great video.. thanks a lot, your video .bro. I did good job on my 1998 Camry v6 ps leaking. I want to share with you one BEER bro,.. thanks
Very good to hear. So glad I could help. Happy Motoring!
Thank you for the video. Ill have to pay to have this job done.
At least you have an idea what they'll be doing to your car. I hope you get a good price and quality of work.
HOW ARE YOU FLORIDA JOE ANGEL HERE FROM CHICAGO..... QUESTION ! I SAW THE WHOLE VIDEO AND AS ALWAYS I HAVE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP OTHERS. I NOTICED THAT WHEN YOU PULLED OUT THE PULLIE THE SHALLOW PART WAS TOWARDS THE PULLIE BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK ON YOU PUT IT WITH THE SHALLOW PART FACING AWAY FROM THE PUMP... DID YOU HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE BELTS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AFTER THE INSTALATION? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND GOD BLESS....
Thank you for your keen observation. I think I remember having to redo that. Pulleys should always go back on just like they came off. I did not have trouble with belts after installation. Thanks for watching!
Also, remember that the pulley will self-tighten in use.
Great vid you was right about the busted knuckles
lol. Hope you're healing up nicely.
I would like to add that if you're replacing your pump and don't have the pulley puller, you take off the nut keeping the pulley in place, pick up the pump by the pulley and and use a hammer and hit the shaft that the nut was on a few times and it will fall right off.
Thank you for that important addition. Also, if for some reason you're working on something where you want to preserve the shaft with the threads, just loosen the nut until it's even with the end of the shaft and strike the nut with the hammer. This prevents fouling the threads. If the pulley is particularly stubborn you may still need the puller and may need to strike the puller bolt to jar it loose.
Great video. Very informative. A couple questions; 1) It looked like you didn't need to remove the 2 long bolts on disassembly from the engine, because it looks like they only held the back bracket to the pump & could be removed once the pulley is off, and 2) is the belt easy enough to change that now would be a good time to replace it?
A Lanesey 1) Correct. I removed some bolts that were not necessary to remove. I assembled it all before putting it back in the car. 2) If your belt looks worn, definitely replace it. I didn't have one on hand and also that belt is under another belt if I recall correctly.
Thanks for watching.
I noticed when you drained adn refilled it later the fluid was clear which means it was power steering fluid. Specs call for GM Dex transmission fluid. I made the same mistake when I first filled sister's avalon. Using power steering fluid will void the warranty on new pump. Could cause premature wear and seal issues if wrong fluid is used.
Thank you for commenting. That is a good point that you made. I remember being confused about the fluid. Thank you for the clarification.
My 1999 Camry has a 2.2L 4 cylinder. Yours appears to be a V-6. There are probably some differences but, not enough to require any changes in the procedure. I've had to do this job on another 1999 Camry and it's not a happy one. Especially, if one has only a gravel driveway, consistently bad weather and no garage!
One thing I noticed is that you reused the brass compression washers. That is a big no-no. The new ones were supplied for a reason. It is just plain luck that you did not get any leaks and had to do it all over again. LOL
One thing that you could have done to make keeping track of any future leaks and such would have been to power wash the underside of the engine bay before doing this job. It would have made things less messy and help the wrenches bite better thereby possibly sparing some busted knuckles. (Experienced grin)
I agree that if one can afford to have it done by a younger mechanic then it is well worth the expenditure. I'm right at that tipping point and I think that my pride will be hurt more than my wallet. LOL
I well done video. You could have used more lighting but, overall, well done. Thank you.
Oh no, not the gravel driveway. I can almost feel it. Great advice about the compression washer and power-washing the engine. Thank you for the excellent comment. Happy Motoring!
U can still get those bolts in use the thru slots on the pulley
Thank you for commenting. Good advice.
Thanks for the video homie👍🏾💯gonna change mine on an 02 Lexus ES300 soon
Good luck with it and Happy Motoring!
exactly the video i needed today,,ur a good man,,,thanks huge,,,,,and enjoy ur day,,thx
+William Moe So glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching and for the kind comment.
Good Instructional video. I will get some one to do it. Thanks Wade Out..
Thanks for watching. Hoping your repair goes well.
I see this exact location of the leak on my 97. Yes, the drips are seen on the bottom of the frame on the right side.
Diagnosis is half the battle. Good luck with your repair.
great video, is this pretty much the same on a 98 Camry?
I'm not sure but I would imagine it's very similar. It shouldn't take long to have a look and see. Good luck.
97-01 generation camrys are of the same vintage and even stretch beyond that range
Oh yeah starter as well. Is it possible for you to do a video on both coil packs? Can't figure it out please if you can that would be great
I'm sorry to say, I sold the car several years back and probably won't be making any more '97 Camry videos. Thanks for watching though.
Thanks very much - you've been very helpful.
Thank you for the kind words. Happy motoring!
Hi there, thanks for a wonderful video. The after market part you installed, any leakage afterward? I’m concerned about installing aftermarket parts since it’s hard to do. Thank you!
I had no problem with the pump. However, I had other leaks around that area and finally gave up and sold the car. I hope you have much better luck.
Excellent video! Even though your job seemed to go well, you suggest to hire someone to do it. Can you please tell me approx. how long the job took to complete? Thank you very much.
I'm slow so might not be the best guy to ask. It takes me 4-6 hours to do just about anything to a car. Good luck with yours. Happy motoring!
@@FloridaJoe3 Thank you SO much for your reply. I feel I could also do this job, but might just take your advice and have it done. The strange thing is, that on my 1996 Avalon, I already have the PS pump replaced about 5-6 years ago. Now, I'm leaking fluids like crazy. It's most likely the pump, but hoping for an easy fix. Thank you so much for your reply and excellent video!
@@CarHorn8 Maybe check for cracked hoses also if they didn't get replaced. Good luck with it.
I was wondering how to drain the power steering fluid. With the other power steering pump videos, they start by emptying as much fluid as possible from the reservoir with a turkey baster!
I was wondering - why go to all that trouble? Why not just disconnect the lowest hose and let the fluid drain into a pan? Which is what you do here, Joe. It should work the same on my car, a 2004 Corolla.
Yes, I think so much had leaked out of mine that draining wasn't a big issue but if you need to drain it, I would just let it out the lowest hose connection. Thank you for the comment and good question. Happy motoring!
Well done video! Very informative.
Thank you for the kind comment! Happy motoring!
On my last inspection i was told my leak was coming from from both crack lines. Three pump itself is good
Well hoses should be much easier to replace. Good luck with it.
