  Q: How to Effectively Service and Repair a Power Steering Pump on Chrysler Concorde?

  A:

  Start by taking off the battery ground cable from the shock tower's ground stud and placing a cable isolator near it. To prevent a lot of leaking, use a siphon pump to get as much power steering fluid out of the reservoir as you can before removing the lines. Handle the power steering fluid supply hose nipple softly to prevent breaking it. Then, take out the power steering return hose and let liquid drain out of the reservoir and pump. When you remove the pump, cover the reservoir's open nipple so spilling slows. Remove the hose connected to the pump's pressure fitting and let the rest of the fluid come out. Unwind the tensioner of the serpentine Drive Belt by unlocking the nut on the pulley's front and adjusting the pressure with the bolt, before removing the belt from the pump pulley. Take out the nuts or bolts holding the power steering pump to its bracket from the holes you find on its pulley face. Insert a screwdriver between the pump and the sleeve inside the tensioner bracket. Push on the sleeve until it rests against the rear end of the bracket. Pull out the power steering pump, reservoir and pulley as an entire group from the engine from the top and put the usable parts onto the new pump.

  Q: How to Install a Power Steering Pump on Chrysler Concorde?

  A:

  Start by fitting the power steering pump onto its bracket, following the order used during removal and making sure the end of the long bolt is back where the sleeve was in the tensioner bracket. Secure all three nuts that fix the power steering pump to the bracket. As you tighten the bolt in the sleeve, make sure the sleeve is pushed fully onto the pump. Tighten every bolt for the mount using a torque of 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.). After that, fit the Drive Belt onto the steering pump pulley and secure the nut on the drive belt tensioner's pulley. Secure the power steering pressure hose to the pump's pressure fitting. After that, tighten the tube nut to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs.). Slide the power steering fluid return hose onto the reservoir, with the hose clamp secured past the upset bead on the nipple. Attach the battery ground cable to the ground stud on the strut tower, then move forward to do the Power Steering Pump Initial Operation to refill and bleed the power steering system.
