Power Steering Replacement
I have been fighting a small power steering leak for several weeks/months. It would leave a small puddle on the garage floor and spray on my hood after dripping on the belt. I replaced the low pressure hose which felt spongy, which is bad, and it still leaked.
Next I replaced the high pressure hose and it seemed to work for a while then started leaking again.
I am planning on taken the Vette on a trip this fall and wanted to get rid of this leak so this week I replaced the power steering pump. So far I have no idea if it will take care of the problem, only time will tell, I will report back later.
Posting here so if others have a C6 power steering fluid leak they will know what to look for.
If you plan on replacing the power steering pump yourself, the following tools will be needed:
P/S Pulley Remover, J-25034-C
P/S Pulley Installer, J-25033-C
No pictures, pretty straight forward for the mechanically minded.
I had to remove the ABS module so I had to bleed the brakes and getting the air out of the power steering wasn't a problem.
