Chevrolet Impala
How do you replace the power steering pump in a 2003 Chevrolet Impala?
My power steering pump is making a clicking noise when idle, and gets a little louder when I drive. I came to find out that it was the power steering pump going bad. The fluid level is normal. I just replaced my water pump and alternator and now this went bad 300 miles later. How is this removed, and replaced? Is it a difficult procedure? And how much time will it take?
Not too difficult.
Move the washer reservoir out of the way and take off the belt and you can get to the 3 mounting bolts through the holes in the pulley. Then you have a pressure line and a return line to disconnect and the pump is out.
You will need a special tool to remove the pulley from the old pump and install it on the new one. Check with your parts store to see if they have a tool rental program or take both pumps to a local shop and ask for a little help. Most of the time you'll find a mechanic that will swap the pulley for free but it wouldn't hurt to tip him a few bucks.
Best of Luck!
