Great work. Only 1 thing to add. It takes 60 seconds to disconnect the fan harness and pull the 10mm bolt so you can pull the whole fan assembly out. Makes it so much easier.
This video got me through the project. My sons has the factory bumper bar which took me forever to figure out. Turned out two screws on the insides of the bar and you can pull it back. From there everything else was guided by your video. Thank you much!
Thanks for the video, just did mine and found it was much easer if you take the battery out pull the fuse box back and take the battery holder out. gives you plenty of room to work
Good tip! I agree that taking the battery out would help free up some room in there for most any project up front, including water pump and power steering. Thanks for watching, and for the like!
WOW. I REALLY REALLY enjoyed your videos. Your editing is clean, neat and without any frills or anything to distract my mind. The inset window helps so much to get a second view without having to backtrack or pause so much. Your voice and explanations are at a perfect pace for the video and you give just enough detail and know-how to be truly helpful without being over burdening or boring. I just got a 2005 Liberty with plenty of miles and things needing to be done to it. I hope you keep making more videos man!
Thank you! I appreciate hearing back from people letting me know what they liked and what they would like me to improve upon. Good luck with your Jeep Liberty project and thanks for watching!
Great video. Here are a few different things I did that helped me out changing mine . I was able to remove the two bolts behind the headlight without removing the grill or headlight. They can be accessed from the engine compartment with a deep socket on a ratchet for one and a long extension with a short socket on a universal drive for the the forward one. Also I removed my oil filter to give more room to wrench on the connections with the hose. I would also recommend pulling the pulley off while the pump is still in the car as it makes it easier to reach the bolts. I put my pulley on the new pump out of the car, but I'm betting you could install the pulley once the new pump is in place to keep the bolts easy to get at as well. With the pulley out of the way you can also reach both hose connections while the pump is installed as well.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm inept when it comes to cars. It took me around 8 hours to do this go to woah, but I had smoke breaks in between, and I needed to get better pliers. All in all, in my area I saved about $250.
Glad to have helped! It's funny when I tell my wife how long something will take. If I say an hour, it usually ends up being 3. And the times I film something, that doubles it again! Thanks for watching, and for the like!
@@philbarrows424 and that is everyone's choice to do! For me, that $250 would have just been the shop charge, not including the parts. And when you have a shop do it, you may not get to choose what brand of parts or if they reuse parts or lots of other variables. When you do it yourself - you get to decide. This is the second power steering pump I've replaced on Jeeps that I have owned. Had I not been filming it, I could have done it much quicker. And the more experience I get, the easier it is to do the next one. But, like you said - time is money. I paid to have my lift kit installed on my XJ because I couldn't afford to NOT have my Jeep for days. Sometimes, its worth it to go to the shop. And if you don't have the time, then its worth it. For me, my time that I work on my Jeep is free - actually, its better than free. But, as always - your mileage may vary. Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
Thank you! This literally saved me about $600. It was tough to reach some areas and the summer heat was difficult, but I see that as saving about $200 per hour and learning a thing or two! Thanks again
Awesome! save some money and learn a few things along the way... That is exactly why I started this channel! Good luck with your Jeep in the future, and thanks for watching!
Would love to suggest a cheap $1.00 turkey baster to remove the old power steering fluid from the pump reservoir, this has always worked for me plus they are cheap and I buy like 3 at a time, works wonders for brake fluid replacement also. Just as a precaution I would suggest cleaning the flare fittings at the rack with brake clean or degreaser before removing to keep from contaminating the Rack and pinion or the new lines which will also contaminate the new power steering pump, all so I always flush the entire power steering system with new fluid before starting this whole process. Don't forget to vacuum bleed the system after you get everything done, to remove any air in the system this will also maintain your pump warranty. PS: Loved the video helped me out a lot since this is the first Jeep Liberty I have owned. Thank you eXperimental Jeep.
Excellent suggestion! Makes perfect sense, cheap enough to not worry about and its gotta be better then sucking in fluid! Glad the video helped you with your project... thanks for watching!
i was on the road when the pulley on the power steering pump failed, lost the belt and the pulley, damn near blew the entire engine up... needless to say im gonna order parts and try and get the jeep back on the road with this video, thanks for the tutorial man!
About to start this repair. Thanks for posting it. I didn't have to remove the belt or the pulley from the original pump. My daughter went ahead and kept driving the jeep while it was making a "screaming" noise until the steering went out. The belt, pulley, and pump shaft are somewhere on the roadside. There's just a worn out hole in the front of the PS pump 😞
someone may have already told you but you need to prime your bulb on the sucker by putting your finger over it when its sucking the fluid out until it starts running thanks for the vid
I'm honestly not sure how that cheap bulb suction thing was supposed to work! I had it over at a friend's house and we both failed. In the end, the old siphon with your lips trick worked... Although I can't recommend that method! I have a pump that I use to add diff fluid, and I'm begging that would work. I just need to get another to avoid cross contamination. Thanks for the comment, and for the like!
@@eXperimentalJeep u squeeze the bulb, then before u let go, u put ur finger over ur end of the hose so that its only sucking from the oil side. Then press bulb in and do it again. Keep doing this until oil starts flowing...i have this bulb for gas....not sure how it'll work on oil
That is a fair point! I didn't do it because I can get my had and arm in there but this is especially a good idea for those that have the HD Cooling Fan that came with the factory towing package. Thanks for the comment, and for watching!
The diagram for the belt is on the front of the jeep. All the writing across the black bar right on the front has the belt information plus spark plug gap info ect
By far the best info on power steering pump replacement for the Jeep Liberty. Question: is there any real benefit in removing the electric fan as part of the procedure? Looked as though everything was reasonable accessible without taking that step.
Honestly 1st thing you should have done was to remove the fan shroud. very simple to do 4 bolts and the bottom 2 you just need to loosen. Make it easy on yourself.
Is theirs a way to test what happening with the power steering!? Exemple, today i left my school. And i felt like something was different when i started the Jeep. Then when i start to drive i realized the steering is 90% my arm strenght to be able to turn the wheel. But the liquid seem still between max and low
I got my torque spec from the FSM (Factory Service Manual) for the 2005 Jeep Liberty. I am going to say that its probably the same, as the motor didn't change significantly during the 7 year production run of the KJ - but to be sure, you'd need to check an FSM for your model year. I can't point you to a specific location for getting FSMs - but if you use Google hard enough, you'll find one :) Thanks for watching, and for the like!
The high pressure hose leaking was ONE of the problems. The pump also was whining pretty badly under load, even when full. Was that damage caused by low fluid? Maybe - but the damage was done so they both needed to be replaced. With the new pump and line, there are no leaks and the pump (once bleeding was fully done) is quiet again. Thanks for the question, and for watching!
My steering pump pressure lines are leaking and definitely bad. This has obviously effected the steering but how do I know if the steering pump itself is bad as well? How can I do a quick diagnostic to check the power steering pump is still functioning?
Without any more "scientific" answers available to me... I'd say a good place to check is the sounds. Both the PS pump in my XJ and my KJ were groaning, the XJ more so but both still had an very audible groan when turning the wheel. Best place to check it is on pavement at a stop. Its easy to turn the wheel when you are rolling and its easier to turn on loose gravel. Try it on flat dry pavement. If you hear a groan, its a good bet your pump is on the way out. This is by no means the definitive way to check - if you are still unsure, and want to know for sure, you'll have to check with a local reputable mechanic. I say reputable because if you go somewhere shady and say "my PS seems off, will you check?" they might just check, do nothing and then charge you for a new pump anyways... Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
@@eXperimentalJeep Thanks for the prompt response. There is a definite groan that squeaks and squeals when the wheel is turned. It also squeaks if rapidly decelerating and the suspension compresses in the front. This leads me to believe its the steering rack or steering damper. Is this also a possibility? BTW this is a KJ
@@on1ytheb3st When the wheel is turned, that is when you are actually using the pump - so that is definitely a big indicator. My guess is the same for braking, because as you brake, you change the Center Of Gravity (COG) slightly forward, and if you are turning while doing that, you just made the pump work harder. It could be the rack... but I'd still go with the pump. Most of the time, groaning or squealing from the pump means a bad pump. I am sure that isn't the only time, but its the safe bet.
Hey bud. What is the torque spec for the power steering pressure line nuts crews for both ends of hose? I heard you say just a snug but. What is torque?
The FSM is a great reference for this information. I found it on page 19-19, and its 21 Ft. Lbs. I'll take an image of just that torque chart and put it on my website www.eXperimentalJeep.com. I can't put the whole thing up there, not even the whole page... Jeep/Chrysler/Whoever-they-are-now has been very aggressive at taking down mentions and links to FSMs. If you are clever enough, you can probably find it online somewhere... like I said, its a great reference! I will caution you though... its all soft metal there, so be careful. Better to under-tighten and correct if there is a leak than to over -tighten and have to replace parts. Hope that helps! Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
I got all the main parts from Amazon actually. I used to use RockAuto, but they cant figure out how to charge taxes like every other online retailer so I cant order from there anymore. I do not have the part number, however - if you have an account with them, you can add a Jeep to your garage and then search for power steering lines based on only what fits your Jeep. The only thing to keep in mind is if you have the towing package installed - that will have a cooler and it will be different hoses. If all else fails you can go to the local auto parts store and go that route. For hoses, I like NAPA. Thanks for watching and good luck with your project!
It should be... the 3.7L v6 didn't change during the production run for the KJ. I do say SHOULD because I don't know if the part is exactly the same. My search on Amazon shows that it is... but of course, that is just what Amazon shows. Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
No, none of the lines are "quick connect" - they all need to be tightened with a wrench against a crushable brass grommet that forms the seal in combination with a rubber o-ring - depending on which end of the hose. Some of them are quite hard to reach when installed so be sure to see in the video how I managed that with placement and with the type of wrench I used. I have not ever seen quick connect for a power steering line - high or low pressure - but I also haven't worked on newer vehicles so I might just be missing out ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
Everything was ordered from Amazon or Rock Auto - except the additional o-ring that I needed to get because the kit was missing one... that I got at Advance Auto Parts. I would love to keep using Rock Auto, but they wont sell to me anymore because they have a prohibitive sales tax policy (wont sell to people who live where local sales tax is collected locally, rather than the state level... which for Colorado, is basically any town larger than 2,500) so I mostly use Amazon, although I did buy spark plugs and replacement injectors for the KJ from PartsGeek online. Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
No, because I didnt reuse the pully, I got a new one! If you choose to reuse the pulley, then yes, you'd need a puller - which can be rented at most big-name auto parts stores. Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
So I bought a new pump and my lines are still fine. My new pump came with 2 O rings, a small black one and a bigger white one. Where do these go on the high pressure line?
You definitely want to use both. My kit was missing one so I had to go get a replacement mid-install, which was frustrating. Also, not sure about the sizing... Mine were both the same but I lack the cooler that comes with the towing package, so if you have that, there might be the difference. Thanks for watching and good luck on your project!
Good question! I don't really have any idea... none of the PS pump changes that I have done came with any kind of spacer. I'd reach out to the manufacture for clarification... and if all else fails, return it and go with a different brand. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Update: I was able to get the bolt off and continue with the video. I got everything hooked up and running and took it for a test drive. lost power steering after 5 minutes and saw that the high pressure line going into the pump was leaking way more than it originally was
agreed... I actualy did replace the PS pump on my XJ ruclips.net/video/zyucqu9hYqY/видео.html ...and I agree, this seems needlessly complicated. My guess is that Dr. Z got his hands in there somewhere and mucked things up. ruclips.net/video/Cp95QkfelWA/видео.html Thanks for watching, and for the like!
Loose the picture in picture it's annoying. Spray the mess down with purple power and rinse with water before you take it apart. Jack I up and turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times to fill the pump and lines with fluid before you start the motor less of a chance of smoking a new pump that way.
Okay so obviously it's NOT a 90 minute job to do what the title says. Just the pump is like what, 30mins I'm guessing. The high pressure line is where the majority of the 90mins is spent on. Cool. Still thumbs down for forcing 2 full ads prior to video. FYI you do have a belt diagram, it's right in front of you by the hood latch above the radiator.. on the right

did you remove your fan and clutch?

I got all the way up until 9:21 the bolt is stuck and refuses to come off i’ve been trying to get at it but still no luck
Update: I was able to get the bolt off and continue with the video. I got everything hooked up and running and took it for a test drive. lost power steering after 5 minutes and saw that the high pressure line going into the pump was leaking way more than it originally was
Going to continue it tomorrow. was able to undo the pump and tighten the high pressure hose more, hopefully that helps
As an XJ owner I just don’t get how they went from a damn near excellent design to this….
agreed... I actualy did replace the PS pump on my XJ

...and I agree, this seems needlessly complicated. My guess is that Dr. Z got his hands in there somewhere and mucked things up.

Thanks for watching, and for the like!
Loose the picture in picture it's annoying. Spray the mess down with purple power and rinse with water before you take it apart. Jack I up and turn the steering wheel lock to lock a few times to fill the pump and lines with fluid before you start the motor less of a chance of smoking a new pump that way.
Okay so obviously it's NOT a 90 minute job to do what the title says. Just the pump is like what, 30mins I'm guessing. The high pressure line is where the majority of the 90mins is spent on. Cool. Still thumbs down for forcing 2 full ads prior to video.
FYI you do have a belt diagram, it's right in front of you by the hood latch above the radiator.. on the right
Thank you that’s all I gotta say very descriptive 🫡🤘
