if they need to be replaced? The new power steering hose has to have the oring installed, it comes with it off! Pretty important part, and should always replace the seals. should be shown in this video, as the gaskets are literally stuck in the rack n pinion and have to be pryed out. If a DIyer doesnt know this, he may not realize this and try installing two seals........... this is the only reason i am watching this video too, to see how you removed those two seals in the rack n pinion
Yeah I followed the video. Knew nothing about stuck seals. Very crudely jammed the hoses in the rack. Leaking was almost instant but very slow. I didn't know from where. Recently the leak moved to full catastrophic. Haven't checked the connection but I suspect it's the culprit. The rack is all wet but it's also the lowest point below all the return lines
how to you install the seal cups that came with the hoses? do you push then into the holes or do you put them on the hose ends and use the pressure from the bolt when you tighten to get them seated?
The system is self-priming. You don't need to oscillate the wheels 12x. You do need to make sure the reservoir has enough fluid when you start up the vehicle. Best practices: Fill the reservoir with fluid and let the pump prime with gravity before you install the hose at the reservoir end / rack end. This ensures you have fluid at the slippers inside the pump. Safest priming procedure to avoid burning out your pump: Make sure the reservoir is filled with fluid. Start the vehicle, run at idle for about five to ten seconds. Recheck fluid levels. Refill if necessary. (Up to this point, you ensure the return lines are filled with steering fluid.) Then oscillate the wheels a few times, lock to lock. This removed air from the rack. Recheck fluid levels. Fill if necessary. (Now the entire system should be filled with fluid) Power steering fluid has an antifoamer additive and so you should recheck after a few minutes to make sure you still have enough fluid in the system. Yes, you can oscillate the rack at the beginning, but you ultimately want to make sure the slippers have fluid.
I am not sure I understand correctly. If I add fluid before installing a hose (are you talking about the hoses in this video, if so which one?), wouldn’t the fluid leak out of the fitting?
I have an 07 Silverado 1500 LTZ V8 4×4. I need the exact hose you replaced in this video. But I can't seem to find them searching. Do you have part numbers? Thanks you guys are great !
Still trying to find a video for help on the seals! All these "professional" videos seem to forget about those. Of course, the HARDEST and most important part. My original seal was on the INSIDE of the lip on the rack, but the new one will NOT go in. So the old one was inside and the new one outside?
I did this job on ramps so my truck was only raised about a foot. I recommend using a hoist. the tech says that a 4x4 model is "a little trickier" to reinstall the pump connection. Try almost impossible....it's all by feel, took me 3 hours to get it lined up and the thread started with no cross threading. Removing the cup seals was another 3 hour marathon. I ended up using a 10 mm bolt force threaded into the old seal and a slide hammer to get it started out, along with a small stout screwdriver to pop them out.Try pricing a high quality seal puller to do this job.
Thanks for the video. When I change my fluid the lazy way (remove/refill fluid in reservoir, crank wheel a few times, empty/refill a few more times) I usually jack the front end up off the ground just to take the pressure off the steering components. I'm no mechanic, but most of the internet wizards out there say that going lock-to-lock while not in motion is no bueno. Or there's' the trusty two sheets of cardboard trick I learned from you lol
I really would love to "Thank U Buddy" for the video. A couple days ago, to keep this short and sweet. My issue started haunting me, dripping at this location. [As your installing the new hose 4:34 time at the first location.] > Started with wiping the hose from that location towards the unit where the fluid is held. I noticed it was running underneath the hose, I could not turn over the hose to notice if it had a crack, somehow so I tried to notice where you had first installed the replacement hose if there was room to install another hose clamp after the one that comes with the hose unit. There was area room. I thought case closed, but behold I came home getting out of the truck, I noticed at the front of the front tire inner wheel area wet. fuzz. I'm located in Ontario Canada, so sorry but the closest parts store would be, Part Source. But, friend 10,000.00 Stars on your video. Sam... I guess replacing fluid would be Dot 3 Right Power Steering Fluid? I'm not sure, why this happened as it's 11-year old from 2008 to 2019?
Yeah, I just followed the video and didn't see until I read the comments that's its a good idea to replace the seals. Guess I'll redo everything now because it's still leaking 🤷♂️
Only one of the lines that youre replacing in this video is leaking on mine. I need to replace the one you didnt do that runs from the cooler to the pump. What is that line called and could you send me a link on your site for me to buy. Thanks
So my seals came out when I removed them. I could never get the lines back into the rack without leaking. Destroyed two sets of seals. How far do you have to seat the new seals? And the green o ring goes on the line going into the pump right? I thought this would be simple
+Nicholas Baker We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Does a 2011 Tahoe 4WD use the same pressure hose assembly? All of the pictures of hoses I've found on various parts websites don't have both lines joined together at the rack connector.
What you see here is them replacing two hoses, two seperate part numbers. You dont have to replace both at the same time. The host from rack to pump has the bracket, the hose from the rack to cooler simply slides over the bracket. Its best practice to replace both hoses at the same time.
The part they replaced in this video is actually made up of 2 assemblies. 80617 and 80618 the bracket that joins them together is physically attached to the high pressure hose 80617. In the part catalogs they are always pictured as their separate components. You don't have to replace both, but it's good practice. They normally come with a new seal, which they did NOT replace in this video.
@1A Auto Parts , do you guys happen to know what the torque specs are for the power steering pump to the p/s - alternator bracket? And then what are the torque specs for the p/s - alternator bracket to the engine? Thank you
If I'm just replacing the rack and pinion because the hoses are still in good shape where do I get the seals that go in the rack and pinion where the hoses mate up to it? I've looked on 1A Auto but haven't found just those seals. This is for a 2003 Silverado 1500
+HouseLightweight Thanks for watching! Those seals will usually come with the new rack and pinion. We do not carry those seals separately, but they can usually be sourced at your local auto parts store! 1aauto.com
I'm replacing mine right now. They come with the new rack and pinion. You have to get a knife and slit the plugs which are marked and you push them in and just tighten the new line again. Be aware the part where you install the rack into the steering control is hard you have to beat that mf out with a hammer. The bolt hold it tight but even after taking it off it's still hard. I had to smack it twice for it to release.
Does anyone know if the pressure line bolt into the pump is lefty loosey? I ask because I have gorilla upped on it with a 16mm wrench and it’s not budging.. I am starting to think it might be a righty loosey but before going that direction I thought I would ask. 2007 Silverado Crew Cab 4.8L (new body style).
I was struggling with this too. That said, this guy does another video replacing a rack and pinion on the same truck. He replaces the seals around minute 21:00. Good luck!
They stated that truck came from New England. The Northeast and Midwest are notorious for rust because of Snowy, wintery mix weather and all the salt and de-icer put on the roads.
This will eventually cause leaks. This is the high pressure side of the pump. Replace the fitting with another pump's fitting from a junk yard. !!Make sure it is the exact same vehicle and engine as yours. Otherwise, fluid fill rates will vary and you may have steering issues.
+Daniel R Mills Sr Thanks for watching! The seals are actually in the steering rack and can be reused if they are in good condition. Ours were in this case, but you might need to replace them depending on how yours is.

Hey what's the size,thread, and thickness of bolt that is between the 2 hose lines that connects to the rack and pinion?
For future watchers who have to order them separately one line is the pressure hose and the other is the return hose.
one of the best DIY channels!!!

dynocompe did u remove the seals? are the old seals metal with rubber backing?
Yeah seemed he was more worried about using a torque wrench on that 8mm than changing out the gaskets .
Here for same reason. Did you find anything on replacing them
I'm haveing trouble with my 08 chevy does the seals go on the hoses first or in the two little holes

That 8mm. bolt snapped easy for you. I am having trouble removing that bolt.
Really straight forward, awesome. Thanks again only took 15 minutes done.

What about the seals? You make no mention of oring or seals or how hard they go in.
Do you have any idea how many engine options these come with…? Are we just suppose to guess which engine are you working on..?
what about replacing the O rings and gaskets?

What is the hose that fits to the tube on the back of the power steering pump
i just broke that 8mm head boltany idea
where can i find one?

If you have four wheel drive, that nut on the pump side is really, REALLY, frustrating to get aligned correctly.
Would these hoses cause the leak runing down my front differential? 2011 Sierra 1500 4x4.

I'm doing this job now and my hose came with two Black seals and one 0 Ring. I'm not sure what the o-ring is for....
Strange how there was no seals in the lines ..my package came today ith some odd looking seals

Thanks for video. Any tips if the 8 millimeter bolt is stripped? I can't get a good enough bite to break it loose.
Super tight. 8 inch ratchet to brake it loose
How much would you charge for this procedure? Your link doesn't go to the part number.
What to putting on the O rings and seals.
It would be nice to know what engine is in this truck. The hoses don't look at all like mine.

I just have a nightmare cuz I forgot the seals bottom one and it's a pain to remove start allover again ..... seals seals very important
Where can I order these lines I can not find them
DIDNT REPLACE THE CUP SEALS IN THE RACK AND PINION WHERE THE LINES GO INTO THE RACK. THERE PROVIDED WITH THE POWER STEERING LINES... HALF ASSED...
Wow that truck is rusty underneath.. jack up radiator cap n change everything underneath it! Great vid

.... how do you get the the cupseals installed properly with o-ring, i am struggling to get the hose in
Me too . Following just in case you get an answer. I tried getting the old plastic washers out but failed to get them out in one peice.
cup seals dont use orings. cup seals are used at the rack, oring at the pump.
I was struggling with this too. That said, this guy does another video replacing a rack and pinion on the same truck. He replaces the seals around minute 21:00. Good luck!
+Wayne Benwell Thanks for the tip!
What would be different on a 4WD. Most people buy trucks/suvs for the 4WD system
Nothing different. Just more difficult because 4wd there would be the front differential that would be in the way
What would cause a hose to blow off near the pump it looks like return lines
Where can I buy the 8mm bolt that holds the pressure steering hose? The one I have is stripped
I bought a replacement from the auto store it’s a M6-1.00x30mm
Same process for a 03-06 silverado?
If you put the hose into the pump first the other connection is out of the way while you do it.
there's lot of rust on the frame and suspension. What causes that a leaking battery? i never seen that happen before.
They stated that truck came from New England. The Northeast and Midwest are notorious for rust because of Snowy, wintery mix weather and all the salt and de-icer put on the roads.

What is the torque spec to the bolt on the rack that holds the 2 lines in, in foot pounds
104 isn’t it
