Jeep TJ Power Steering Pump Leak Repair/Replacement

It started with what we thought was a front pinion seal which turned out to be a bad o-ring between the power steering pump reservoir and pump. In this video we pull the power steering pump, separate it from the reservoir and replace the o-ring. At the end of the video we also measure the o-ring if you are looking for the size of the o-ring.

Really well done video. I'll be dropping a new pump/pulley in my 98 this week and this gives me confidence.

Thanks, If you have any questions let us know.

[@tomdorman2486]

Thanks, very helpful to see it done in advance. I hope mine is just an o ring as well.

[@TabooCustoms]

Glad it helped

Great video, timely too, I have an '01 that's leaking in the power steering system. BTW, your audio levels are a little low, had to turn up to max to listen to your commentary. Thanks for the good explanations.

Thanks, we recently have upgraded our video recording equipment and still working out kinks.

I have 1997 jeep tj I bought brand new, hard top full and half doors, garaged kept. Has some holes in frame, I tried selling it very cheap but seems in my part of the country, ‘’Pittsburgh’’ no one fixes these jeeps, been sitting in the garage for 3 years, still runs great, need my garage back . Off to the scrap yard ,

I used an approximate Viton o-ring and it still leaked. (I probably used the wrong size) I’m guessing I have to pull out the micrometer to accurately measure a generic replacement o-ring

[@dana.c.2270]

My reservoir leaks from the friction point between the reservoir and the pump. There is a little O-ring between the services that seems to always create a leak. I have replaced the larger O-ring that fits over the Reservoir, but there is another depression within the power steering pump that might need another O-ring I’m not too sure on this.

Any chance you know where I can get high pressure hose o ring or what size it is? Thanks

[@TabooCustoms]

Unfortunately I do not, they come with the hose, if you have the old one you could measure it and buy one from McMaster Carr

So do l need different for Jeep Wrangler YJ 4.0 1995 Anyone done this on a YJ?

[@TabooCustoms]

The reservoirs are the same from 93-04 the pumps however were slightly different from 91-96 vs later years. If you are looking at replacing the O Ring this should still pretty much apply.

[@colin5064]

@@TabooCustoms thank you for the update,looking for a repair kit for the YJ so TJ kit no use to me unfortunately

[@mattymoo830]

Does the oring for high pressure line come in kit?

[@TabooCustoms]

No, it does not have the small o ring that goes on the end of the high pressure line.
