  Q: How to remove and install a power steering pump on Jeep Comanche?

  A:

  Loosen the pump drivebelt and slip the belt over the pulley. Using a suction gun, suck out as much power steering fluid from the reservoir as possible. Position a drain pan under the pump and disconnect the high pressure line and fluid return hose. It may be necessary to remove the air cleaner housing for access to the return hose. Cap the ends of the lines to prevent excessive fluid leakage and the entry of contaminants. Remove the front attaching bolts and the rear attaching bolts and nuts, then lift the pump from the engine. If it is necessary to remove the pulley from the pump, first measure how far the pump shaft protrudes from the face of the pulley hub. Remove the pulley from the shaft with a special power steering pump pulley removal tool. This tool can be purchased at most auto parts stores. A special pulley installation tool is available for pressing the pulley back onto the pump shaft, but an alternate tool can be fabricated from a long bolt, nut, washer and a socket of the same diameter as the pulley hub. Push the pulley onto the shaft until the shaft protrudes from the hub the previously recorded amount. Installation of the power steering pump is the reverse of the removal procedure. Be sure to bleed the power steering system following the procedure.
