  1. Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove pump reservoir cap. Raise and support vehicle on hoist. Place drain pan under pressure and return hose fittings at steering gear. Disconnect hoses from steering gear and allow system to drain.
  2. DO NOT  rotate steering wheel, as fluid will be forced out of steering gear fittings. Using appropriate wrench, rotate drive belt tensioner to relieve belt tension, and then remove drive belt from pump pulley.
