Nice vid, thx! FYI everybody: a fluid flush -- or -- conditioner additiive __can__ correct a noisy pump. It is worth a try before you go to the work and expense of a pump replacement. Again, it __can__ correct the problem. --- Didn't say 'always'.
Thank you. I got Murano 2009 80k+ and got steering noises, got a new pump and spend 4h trying to remove old one, no luck. Failed on those two top bolts with no access. I will rewatch this video multiple times, ;-) and retry next weekend. What a good timing...
i have the same vehicle and same problem. happens whenever the temp gets cold in autumn. starting to get worse. I live in NE in US. what i have learned from all this is i will never buy a Nissan ever again. the difficulties you guys are experiencing are similar to changing the nissan brake pads. who puts a support bar to block access to the calipers? nissan does.
I'm currently working on replacing my power steering pump on my '09 murano and I noticed that some of the bolts are 12mm. The top bolts are hard to access, but having a speedwrench made it much easier to work them out.
fyi, this should apply to 7th generation Maximas too. working on mine now. thanks so much for the time to document and share, it makes work a little easier having some idea of what to expect going in. dunno if i have a flat enough 13 for them two bolts way up on the front side.
I just fixed mine cause the serpentine belt ripped off and when I picked it up the power steering was extremely hard!I checked the oil deposit and it was full but nothing was moving!!
I removed the belt tensioner completely, working it forwards then out towards the firewall. Alot of cussing as swearing was involved, but now to go get smokes to relax. What a waste of a Sunday.
I have taken out all 5 bolts, 3 on the front bracket and 2 on the back bracket. I still can not get the pump removed. It is however very very loose. Do I need to remove the long top bolt on the back in order to remove the pump? Any help is greatly appreciated.
There are 2 13 mm bolts that hold the bracket in place on the top right side of the pulley you have to remove the one on the left and loosen the one on the right in order to loosen the bracket enough to get the pump off. You do Not need to remove the 16 mm bolt behind the pump just get it loose. Bolts you need to completely remove. 2 bolts behind pump 3 bolts behind pulley, 1 bolt on right top side of the bracket holding the pump. Not an easy job.
@@martingalicia4156 thank you for the reply. Sure was one heck of a job. Ended up having a neighbor help and he was able to get it out and the replacement on. Thank you for the video !

Thanks for the help. Just finished mine. I NEVER want to do that job again… we need to start a support group for ptsd from these damn cars!
You might just be a regular dude trying to fix his car, but videos like these help out a lot! Thanks for posting, i might be attempting this soon
Wasted 1 hour trying to pull this out till I watch this video
Removed the 2 bolts for the PS bracket and it literally fell out
Thanks mate
It's a struggle but thank you for making some kind of video for it.

Just did one on a 2011 Murano. Nothing but issues. It was a pain in the ass.

Good luck I had to buy a smaller ratchet that made a little better.
Hey bro Thanks for sharing this video really appreciated.

Update:
Getting that top bolt for the bracket out is considerably easier if you take the idler pulley off as well.
Surprised the cvt transmission didn't fail with that many miles.
My 09 Maxima has 228,000+ miles.... Cars last a good while if you take care of them.

How did you remove the rear bolt?
I have all my bolts out but cannot get the pump out.The bracket is in the way and bolts to it are not where I can get too.

Where is the 13mm located on back
Anyone got advice on how to remove the 16mm from the back i cant break it free with the little room given.
Updates please
I've got the pump on mine where it will move but just won't come out but can't figure it out even with this video
How mich is the cost to replace a pump pls?? I have a problem with a nissan murano 2009
They quoted me $1050 for labor and $680 for parts! I am doing it myself.
@@madobosz did you do it yourself?
Really hard to get out I remove the tensioner to finally get out
