I am deeply thankful for your video. My daughter was quoted $1800. at the Buick dealer to do this job on her ‘14 Enclave. I own a ‘12 Enclave. Many videos out there drop the engine down. I don’t have a lift and had to work on my garage floor with the car jacked up high. Without your video, I would have been lost. I followed it to the tee. The only part I varied from was that back bolt on the pump. I took it off reaching through the wheel well with a 3/8 ratchet with a short extension and a 15mm socket. Pump cost $216 with the pulley installed. Daughter’s gratitude priceless! Thanks guys!👍

Thank you sir, I have been pondering on this job for a while because my concern was always dropping the subframe, I am a DIYer and I did not want to do that. With this video no reason to drop any subframe. I pulled out the power-steering pump as in the video, simple.

Just did this pump on my 2015 Traverse. My plan was to go this route of going over the exhaust with the pump rather than dropping sub frame. Ran into some frustrations, as well I purchased the new pump without the pulley and fitting, they had to be transferred from the old pump. It cuts about 30-40% of the part cost by purchasing the one without pulley and fitting. Then after removing lines, unbolting the pump… position the pump pulley slightly down and to the rear of the vehicle so that it is facing the opening between the inner fender and a-arm mount. Remove the pulley with puller (factory pulley has a groove around the hub on the outside of the pulley for a puller, you do not have to get behind the pulley at all)… both come out no problem separately through the opening above the A-arm mount. Position new pump in same spot, use install tool to install pulley… bolt it in place, attach lines. About 1/3 the time to re and re this way then going up and over the exhaust and a lot less then dropping the sub frame along with not dealing with that mess. Takes longer to remove the wheel and tie rod then the pump itself.
The angle of the elbow on the new pump i got was totally different than the original after struggling for an hour i noticed this and put the old elbow on the new pump and then it worked great.
Great video. Where is the power steering fluid filter located? Going to replace my power steering pump and thinking I should replace the filter as well but don’t know where it is.
This is by far the best video I’ve seen on this but still worried this is outside my wheel house. Having to do this on the ground instead of a hydraulic lift makes it feel like it’ll be a lot harder that in the video.
Excellent video. Working on a Traverse and could not remember how the o-ring was installed for the feed line to the pump (non-pressure). For some reason I can't install it without it leaking. At least now I know I am installing properly. I think I need to disconnect the hose as it is keeping it "cock-eyed" as I tighten the 10mm bolt. I'll remove the hose so the elbow is 100% free to line up square with the pump.
2008 enclave cxl-awd. Been a great car. 300k miles. Now p.s. pump is whining & even smoking some. Not looking forward to fixing but, doesn't look like to bad of a job. Heard they went from 6 vane to 12 vane pump. Anyway of knowing? Most don't give specs for their products.
I changed my pressure hose, but now have a lot of whine noise for weeks. Level seems fine, but maybe I have air in there, I'm going to see if I can get it all out, not sure if that is the noise or the pump is now gone, any ideas?

Hello, hey I have a 2012 Chevy Traverse LT trying to put the power steering pump on and I'm having the trouble that when I drop the subframe on the passenger side it's only going down two of the four in required to pull the power steering pump. Can you think of anything I could have done wrong?

Was yours a fwd or AWD?
The shop quoted me like $2k to do this. Thanks for the informative video. It's a definite life saver.

How'd it go? I'm debating on doing the job for a customer 🤔
Great video. Thanks for the tips.
Seems like you get the tuff jobs !! Great job 👏
+Salvador Sepulveda Thanks for the feedback! 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Thanks for video very helpfull
Easiest way is to take off the hard line on the rack and pinion and with the pulley down pull it out between rack and motor

Would this work on a 2013 Buick lacrosse?
Will it work for my 2010 buick lacrosse
Mine is front wheel drive do u think is the same precedure?

If I’m replacing the cv axle too can it come out the side like that?
I changed my pressure hose, but now have a lot of whine noise for weeks. Level seems fine, but maybe I have air in there, I'm going to see if I can get it all out, not sure if that is the noise or the pump is now gone, any ideas?
Do think is the same for a front wheel drive
Is this awd or fwd
how did you get the pressure hose in? I've tried for a day trying to put the high press hose in.
I had a friend that had her power steering pump fixed and they lost one of her bolts. Does anyone know the size of the mounting bolts on this
Hi Mr.TRQ I hope we can reach you I have problems same that your Buick 2010. Is leaking lots. I’m in Ontario Ca let me know thanks ❤
