4.10 REMOVING AND INSTALLING STEERING PUMP

Note:

When replacing a worn steering pump, you are 

advised to fully drain the steering oil and replace 

the steering oil reservoir and integrated filter.

In extreme situations, the steering pump may 

have been worn to such an extent that metal 

pump parts have entered the steering box. Check 

the steering box for internal wear using the test 

case.

Removing steering pump
1.

Clean the line connections.

2.

Place a receptacle underneath the steering 

pump.

3.

Remove the lines from the steering pump 

and plug the line and pump openings. The 

filter is fitted in the return line, which means 

that should any dirt enter it will immediately 

also enter the steering gear.

4.

Remove the attachment bolts and remove 

the steering pump (3) and the driver (1) from 

the compressor.

5.

Remove the reservoir (4) from the pump (3).

Installing steering pump
1.

If necessary, fit the bracket (2) on top of the 

new pump. Do not remove the cover from the 

pump to do this. Tighten the attachment bolts 

(1) evenly to the specified torque. See 

"Technical data".

2.

Check the driver (1) for wear.

3.

If necessary, connect the line couplings to 

the steering pump to be fitted. Tighten the 

couplings to the specified torques; see 

"Technical data".

If the specified tightening torques 

are exceeded, the aluminium pump 

housing may be damaged.

4.

Fit a new O-ring (2) on the steering pump 

and grease it lightly.

5.

Crank the engine until the compressor driver 

half is horizontal.

6.

Grease the driver (1) lightly and fit it to the 

compressor driver half.

7.

Fit the reservoir (4) on the pump.

8.

Fit the pump (3). Tighten the attachment 

bolts evenly to the specified tightening 

torque; see "Technical data".

9.

Fit the lines.

10. Fill and bleed the steering gear hydraulic 

system.

11. Take a test drive and check the pump and 

line connections for leaks.
